Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

I am an advocate for Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA). The BACA mission is to empower abused children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. All BACA services are free of charge, and include (but are not limited to) bonding with the child, creating a presence at the home of the child, and accompanying the child to court hearings in order to "assist the child in being less intimidated and frightened, and subsequently give an accurate testimony regarding his/her abuse."

All BACA members have passed an extensive background check including a LiveScan fingerprint, have ridden with the Chapter for at least a year, and have received special instructions from the Licensed Mental Health Professional. Anytime the child feels scared and feels the need for the presence of his new B.A.C.A. family, the child may call upon these bikers to go to the child’s house and provide the necessary reassurance to feel safe and protected.

For more information about BACA, Please visit www.bacaworld.org. I would appreciate any help spreading the word about this wonderful international resource for abused children. Follow on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BikersAgainstChildAbuseInternational
