Born in India, 1981 - year of the rooster. Transplated to Ethiopia. Dragged to New York. Raised in Alaska. Came back to New York. Started college and began the process of politicization.
Very dynamic
Never jaded
I make sure every thing I do and say is real
I want every moment to mean something
Always growing.... truth searching. Not a comfortmist.
I want to shatter my comfort zones so I can let myself bloom
Not in love with money. Much more interested in people.
I breathe, I love , I have two eyes, I have a nose, a mouth... I live , I cry, I write, I laugh...
I live
I am like you
I am nothing like you

Then they came for the trade unionists. But I didn't speak up because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics. But I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me. And by that time no one was left to speak up."...Pastor Martin Niemoller

I have had an incredibly difficult life where I don't regret one single moment because everything in succession has mounted up to who I am now. I was born in India, I lived in Ethiopia for a few years, spent 8 years in Alaska, 9 months in Seattle. I have been to a number of other countries and other states. Some of the traveling was vacationing most of it I had no say in. I went to more than 15 schools during grade school. I started working when i was 13.All my traveling and obstacles I've been through have taught me a number of things.
A.) That people are beautiful and I want to spend the rest of my life in the struggle for liberation and freedom with the people of the world. Working class, marginalized communities, and people of color.
B.) I can transcend gender roles and stereotypes as long as my mind is not conditioned by oppressive forces. Freedom lies within my mind. As long as I know who I am, societies superficial standards and obsessions are below me. I write my own destiny. Conformity is for suckers.
C.) I want to continue to spend my whole life traveling and exploring so I can understand and gain compassion for people that I feel alienated from. The people that make my t-shirts in China. The people who cut my fruit in Mexico because...
D.) The material things I own don't own me. I at any moment I should not feel imprisoned in a comfort-zone. Life is waiting for me.
With everything I have been through... I should be bitter. Tired of being tired.. but I'm not yet. I celebrate diversity and I am always aware of practicing tollerance. I feel that people have the right to self-determination without the occupation, exploitation and dominance of another group telling them what they need. We can do this..
