Occupation	Cultural Organizer
Location	Oakland, CA, United States
Introduction	Greetings! I guess there's no time like the present to join the modern age and create my own blog spot in the universe. I am a longtime, creative activist and cultural organizer. I have been blessed to work on scores of campaigns for peace, justice and environmental sustainability over the past 20+ years. I have many mentors and friends who have made this journey possible so far. As a new mom I have a renewed sense of compassion and urgency to respond to the corruption and crises of our times in ways that are compelling and effective. Some of you know I write a bit, but I have rarely shared. This will be new for me, but like giving birth to a new being, its only through jumping off the cliff, that we grow wings... Enjoy!
