*** NEW WEBSITE COMING MAY 2013 ***






A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.

Welcome to my website, TrishCausey.com!

My name is Trish Causey, and I am a multi-dimensional creative and performing artist and a grassroots activist.  All of my original creative works deal with human rights and civil rights issues.  I earn my living as a self-employed freelance writer covering Broadway Theatre and reviewing cast albums, while enjoying the guilty pleasure of hosting my own radio show.  I maintain my activism as a writer and coach on women's sexual health issues and recovery from sexual abuse.

Conventional wisdom says not to talk about politics or sex.  If this were true, I wouldn't have anything to talk about.  Most human rights violations -- via politics and legislation -- are based on sexual preferences, body autonomy issues, and the cultural shaming of women. 

Other human rights' and civil rights' violations are based on a core elite group's thirst for power and wealth at the expense of the masses they would like to keep ignorant and impoverished.  This core group propagates war for profit, treating our soldiers as collateral damage, wrecking our country's reputation throughout the world, and squandering tax-payers' dollars that should be used to enrich schools, support firefighters and law enforcement, and encourage economic growth within the middle class while helping the poor get out of poverty.

Misogynistic culture says women who voice their opinions are uppity and hormonal.  T
hese women are called a "bitch" or a "cunt".

Screw that.

I am Trish Causey, an ActivistArtist.  Using my voice is not just my job, it is my life -- in my creativity, in teaching, in radio, and in my human rights activism. 

I will not change who I am for anyone.
