Jill Strachan was born in Athens and spent her childhood accompanying her U.S. Foreign Service parents to posts in Pakistan, Egypt and Sri Lanka. As an adult she had a career in working with nonprofit organizations, including as director of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop. She has now written a book of 22 essays titled Boundaries Borders Crossings--One Lesbian Life 2.0, which tracks her experiences of growing up in other cultures and the enduring impact of a world perspective, adapting to Lesbian culture in the 1980s, and coping with the AIDS crisis. Village Voices will hear her reflect on these themes of social concern and social change.
