Celebrating Our Inner Goddess with Artemis Journal
One of the primary objectives today for NASA is sending American women to the Moon. The name of the mission is Artemis. Artemis was the Greek mythological twin sister of Apollo – the mission name for the original moon landings – and the goddess of the Moon.
Here on Earth, we’re celebrating on today’s Buzz4Good a different Artemis, but one just as lofty and inspiring: the 45th anniversary of Artemis Journal, which showcases the artists and poetry of the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond. On Sept. 1 Artemis hosted a release party at the Taubman Musuem in Roanoke of its 45th annual publication.
Today Buzz4Good creator Michael Hemphill talks to the founder and still editor of Artemis Journal, Jeri Rodgers. She shares Artemis’ humble origins as a space where women suffering from domestic violence could share their stories, to where it ranks today among the pantheon of prestigious literary journals featuring luminaries such as Nikki Giovanni, University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech.

The United States has more than 1.5 million nonprofits — from homeless shelters, food banks and rescue squads to children’s choirs, science museums and animal refuges — that employ one out of every 10 Americans. Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don’t know about them, don’t believe in them, don’t support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.
