You might not know who I am talking about if I ask if you know who Heather Matarazzo is, but when I tell you that she was Anne Hathaway's best friend, Lily , in The Princess Diaries, or that she was in SCREAM, Welcome to the Doll House, SAVED! or The L Word, then you might be like, "oh I love her, she does the Shut up and Listen show (and now Podcast)!"  Yes, Heather had a webcast on The Princess Diaries and has a podcast now, called Shut Up and Listen, and believe me, she has a lot to talk about. For two decades she has graced the screens of some of your favorite movies and tv shows, but its her work off screen that really has affected and impacted so many as she tours around talking about Mental Health,  experiences with her own suicidal thoughts, and the challenges she faced coming out and starring in her most recent project,  HBO Max Docuseries, Equal . In honor of Mental Health Awareness Day, Suicide Prevention day and Coming Out Day, Heather will be on campus to talk about these issues and more.  

In addition, 15 lucky campus community members will be able to have dinner with her before the show. Watch your Seawolf Living emails on Sundays for more info on how to be considered for this added bonus. This is going to be a great conversation about all the places she has been and the importance of being present for yourself and others.
