I appreciate how organizations like <a href="http://www.enoughproject.org/">Enough!</a> boil the issue of conflict mineral mining down so succinctly, correctly linking violent mining practices, pernicious use of mass rape, the issues that inhere in a failed state and corrupt governance, armed militias and urgent need for security sector reform, poverty and de-development....and our computers. <a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/2011/07/15/arrival/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the car on the way to the Prague airport, my dad asked if he could buy Czech crowns from me. He began explaining something that later, when I could listen, I apprehended was very simple: he would give me US dollars, I would give him Crowns. But before he had finished his question, my brain had completely flooded. I heard nothing but gibberish, or the "wah wah wah" spoken by grown ups on the Peanuts cartoons. I made the time out symbol with my hands. A frustrated look rumpled his face. <a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/2011/07/14/travel-day/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

As I do on all my trips, I will keep a diary (my diaries from 13 countries are the basis for my book, <em><a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/all-that-is-bitter-and-sweet/">All That Is Bitter and Sweet</a></em>).

		<description><![CDATA[The outcry regarding my remarks, 2 paragraphs of <a href="/all-that-is-bitter-and-sweet/">my 400+ page book</a>, regarding hip hop and rap, has been as astounding as it is out of context. As reactions continue to rage on Twitter and blogs, I am addressing it where I have more than 140 characters. The general theme is to express my gratitude for a chance to learn, to be corrected where I was wrong, to make amends, and hold firm and strong on the <strong><em>original intention and context</em></strong> of the points I made, with a commitment to try to do so less clumsily and with more sensitivity in the future. <a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/2011/04/10/reflections-the-hip-hop-and-rap-remarks-in-all-that-is-bitter-sweet/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is my hope and prayer that media can now, after a crazy week including uncanny (and maybe even bizarre) media timing that only God could have orchestrated (my book, my mother and sister’s TV show, and Tennie McCarty’s TV show, the woman who introduced me to recovery, all debuting at the same time), place the focus where it belongs: feminist social justice, human rights, and public health. That is what <em>All That Is Bitter &#038; Sweet</em> is about. The brief personal back-story was provided to help explain why I have dedicated so much of my life and soul, sometimes to my own detriment and at great emotional cost, to the welfare of others around the world. I wish I could take the word “memoir” off the cover, for it seems to have given a wildly false impression of the book, and replaced it with “travel diaries,” or something like that. Readers are discovering that, with each page. Hopefully, the media can, too. <a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/2011/04/09/reflections-on-why-i-wrote-the-book-including-some-of-my-personal-story/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

context from my book, I phoned Russell Simmons, with whom I have been friends for 15 years. We chatted for a while about the situation, and within an hour, he sent me a typed transcript of our call, which he had recorded on his cell phone! He posted it on his web site, and here I also provide a copy. <a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/2011/04/08/russell-me/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To hear my name said in the same sentence as Desmond Tutu's last night at <a href="http://www.gracecathedral.org/">Grace Cathedral</a> in San Francisco gave me an opportunity to reflect on the richness of my life's arc. Having been asked by fellow Kentuckian Owsley Brown and a dear local friend to help host this special event to raise money for Grace, an American icon of inclusive and compassionate Christian love, I was enormously pleased when Father responded to my e mail last October that indeed, although he is retired, he would fry from RSA to attend our occasion, and speak <a href="http://ashleyjudd.com/2011/03/04/in-the-same-sentence-as-demond-tutu/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
