Me, a Panelist?

I was invited at the last minute to be a panelist at an event in NYC called "Ladies on the Mic"... the panel topic is "How to use your art for social change". I'm quite nervous about this and think I made a mistake. But then I realized why i'm doing it - exposure, why else? It's always about exposure with me. I wonder if other artists do things for the same reason all the time. I will post the results tomorrow, but off the bat, the real question is not how can I use my art for social change but rather how can social change organizations help me promote my art! It's all about exposure. There must be some mutual benefit.
