In the intimate setting of a local coffeehouse, a group of accomplished Bay Area writers, performers and community activists discuss their passions, their inspirations and the challenges they've faced along their chosen paths. With no host and small groups of women engaging in an intimate discussion, Speaking Freely's unique format provides an opportunity for viewers to listen in on a lively exchange of ideas among women whose groundbreaking choices have encouraged others to trust their visions and realize broader dreams.
