    Who Cares if We're Not Invited, We're Here featuring Bonnie Gross

    Lady Parts fillmmaker shares her experience navigating vulvovaginal healthcare. Bonnie Gross is an award-winning comedy writer, producer, and post-production professional who’s never met a taboo topic she couldn’t turn into a smart, comical, and deeply relatable story. She has a passion for telling authentic narratives about life with chronic vulvovaginal and pelvic pain, stories she believes deserve far more screen time. Originally from Philadelphia and now based in New York City, she earned her B.A. in Media Production from the University of Alabama and completed the UCLA Professional Program in TV Comedy Writing in 2018. Her most recent film Lady Parts, now streaming on Amazon Prime, is an autobiographical comedy inspired by her experience navigating vulvovaginal healthcare. It earned the Special Jury Award for Screenwriting at the Florida Film Festival and the Jury Award for Best Comedy. Bonnie spent several years in post-production at Encore Hollywood and Light Iron working across a range of television and film projects. She now co-owns Brainwomb, a boutique finishing house in NYC where she partners with filmmakers to shape stories throughout post-production. She has also written, produced, and edited comedic content for It’s a Southern Thing. She serves as social media manager and campaign volunteer for Tight Lipped, a grassroots advocacy organization by and for people with chronic vulvovaginal and pelvic pain. All of this is driven by a simple goal: to make people feel seen, understood, and maybe even laugh at a speculum joke along the way. "At its core, Lady Parts is a film with a mission: to shatter the stigma around discussions of women's bodies. By addressing the cultural shame and silence surrounding these conversations, the film empowers audiences to embrace openness and honesty about their health and well-being."

    Who Cares if We're Not Invited, We're Here! featuring Betty Long (Part I)

    In Part I, Founder & CEO of Guardian Nurses shares "glimmers" and how a family medical crisis led her to advocacy. Betty Long, MHA, RN Founder & CEO of Guardian Nurses Betty Long began her career in 1986 as a critical care nurse. Over the next 20 years, she gained experience in clinical, management and consulting roles. Long is a nurse always and an entrepreneur since 2003 when she used her knowledge of how the healthcare system works to found a company that makes the system work better for patients and their families. Through her leadership, Guardian Nurses Healthcare Advocates has grown to more than 58 employees and serves business, health and welfare funds, and private clients throughout the United States. A nurse-owned, nurse-run company, Guardian Nurses deploys RNs to provide patient advocacy and high-touch care management services. With the caring concern that is typical of nurses and the clinical knowledge that comes from 20+ years of experience, Long’s nurse advocates drive timely, top-quality care that results in better outcomes for patients. Although Guardian Nurses serves individuals and families, its clients are primarily unions, health & welfare funds, and corporations that self-insure for employee healthcare. Long has won many awards in her career, but the most satisfying was seeing her one-of-a-kind Mobile Care Coordinator program recognized by the prestigious American Academy of Nursing as a 2023 Edge Runner. In 2024, Long received the Mary Ann Garrigan award which is presented annually by the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center Nursing Archives Associates in Boston, MA. Long has become a nationally recognized expert and speaker on patient advocacy and care coordination, with special expertise in critical care, long-term care and geriatric care management. She is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Case Management Society of America, the Pennsylvania Organization of Nursing Leadership, as well as the Forum of Executive Women in Philadelphia. Currently, she serves as President of the Board of Trustees for The Nightingale Awards of Pennsylvania. Thanks for reading & Listening to OVERexpressed & OUT Podcast!
