WITHOUT APOLOGY TOUR: MADISON RESIDENCY
From Book to City Block
The Without Apology Tour kicks off in Madison—20+ stops over eight weeks, rooted in the stories of A Pot to P*ss In. We’re gathering in libraries, salons, bookstores, hubs, community centers, homes, transitional housing and more to talk about motherhood, money, healing, power and reclaiming our stories.
This is more than a tour. It’s a citywide call to action.
Madison is the blueprint for the national tour—a bold test, a homecoming, and a launchpad for something much bigger.
