Mama: What drives you to be a positive and helping force for other women, rather than competing with them?
Elle: I’m driven by an inner certainty that when women come together with honesty, sincerity and compassion, there isn’t a thing we cannot accomplish together. Part of the female DNA is giving birth-we are capable of sowing the seeds of new ideas, new ways of thinking and approaching challenges then nurturing them, feeding them, loving them into fruition.
Not only are we capable, but we are responsible for this! As well, I know that the key to a happy and successful life is to cause others to have what we feel we are lacking in our own lives. One woman liberated affects the whole, and the contagious energy of the freeing of spirit can affect the climate of our communities.
Mama:Was there an a-ha moment or event in your life that made it obvious that this is how you want to be? Have you always been that way?
Elle: I’m not sure that there was ever a single a-ha moment that set me on this path. I’ve certainly always embodied a compassion for humanity; but perhaps my varied personal history caused these seeds to grow within me. Just in the short time since I started having children I’ve been “that” mom who stood in the grocery line with 3 babies (age 3, 1 and a newborn) after hours of very challenging (torterous, really)shopping-at my wits end, fighting tears- to be told that my credit card was declined-3 times in one month. I’ve also been the soccer-mom proudly signing my children up for one of the more expensive private schools in the area.
My younger years exposed me to high-risk situations as a rebellious teen, and brought me to the State Senate as a spokesperson for the importance of open communication between adults and teens. I walked in dark alleys with pennies in my pocket and in the spotlights of Atlantic City Convention Center wearing expensive gowns and donning the crown of Miss MA. I’ve had lunch with friends in the homeless community of Boston, and champagne with celebrities and dignitaries. In my early 20’s I was diagnosed with severe depression and today help others to change their mindset in order to achieve lasting happiness.
I’ve been a breakfast bar waitress, a hairdresser, a special needs teacher a momma and an entertainer. I’ve covered the gamut of social circles and emotional levels, so I think I have a pretty solid understanding of people. Perhaps these are the reasons I care so deeply about other people’s trials and am committed to their successful outcomes. I’ve spent years learning the philosophies of different “religions” and ways of thinking. They have stirred my spirit and awoken me from slumber. I feel a responsibility to share the approaches that changed my life with other women. We are all sisters after all.
Mama: how do you see (your outlook) working for you as a result?
Elle: I have the most meaningful relationships with those around me. I have been blessed with a support system that overwhelms me with gratitude every single day. I AM truly happy knowing that I am fulfilling my destiny in this lifetime.
Eve=every woman, Rising=growth, liberation, success. The Eve Rising 2010 Festival is an all day, all women music festival whose proceeds will benefit Emmaus House and the Lawrence YWCA. Our mission is to bring women in art and enterprise together for a day of music, peace and camaraderie to assist our fellow women and their families. Eve Rising operates from a belief that when one woman is liberated, she affects the whole; and a certainty that when we selflessly strive to help others reach their goals, we create the foundation for our own success.
Performers for Eve Rising are a who’s who list of the finest female singer-songwriters and performers in Eastern New England, including, Jen Kearney, Lori Diamond, Laura Vecchione, Julie Dougherty, Erinn Brown , Elle Gallo, Amy Petty, Alison Keslow, Karen Grenier, Carrie Rowan, Lisa Marie and Patti DeRosa.
This festival is being endorsed by Mamapalooza and WXRV The River 92.5. Guest speakers will include representatives from various local non-profit charities, Mayor James Fiorentini, Miss Massachusetts 2010.
