La Loba's Birthday & PoetrySeries' 1 Year Anniversary

Every once in a while we meet someone who changes our lives by just by being themselves.

Vanessa Martir, author, mother and passionate leader will celebrate her 35th birthday this Saturday night.  We've come to look forward to gathering at a cozy intimate venue, Lolita's, once a month for her raucous and moving La Loba poetry series. In that small room we've spit fire, laughed until we cried and cried until we laughed.

Please join us in celebrating her life and a wonderful series that we hope continues for a long time to come.
