T-O-T-A-L-L-Y: A One-Woman Show of Healing, Humor, and Transformation
The Commission on Human Rights partnered with Santa Rosa Junior College to bring a one-woman show on Tuesday, April 28th from 6pm-8pm at Newman Auditorium, Emeritus Hall, Santa Rosa Campus: 1501 Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95401-4395.
Free admission and parking!
Kimleigh Smith, an actress and survivor, created her one-woman show TOTALLY based on her journey of healing after sexual assault. Through storytelling, humor, and performance, she explores trauma, recovery, and empowerment while challenging stigma and encouraging open conversations. Her work inspires others to reclaim their voice, embrace their power, and transform pain into growth—what she calls “embracing your cape.”
