I call her Marciallicous and she's part of my "she's the bomb squad" along with another Aussie Kim Petersen, Conni Walkup Hull, Nancy Santos, Claire Kelly, Anthi Psomiadou, and jules Miz Mindful. It's so wonderful you got to meet Marcia in person and write this beautiful story from your heart and even your fears. No one writes like Marcia. And no one writes like you. Keep it up!! I wrote a poem honoring all my ladies recently. Perhaps it and they will inspire you. https://medium.com/the-karma-vamp/conformity-behind-the-binary-landscape-of-community-13fa3861d3a4

PS: Marcia directed me to your story.
