About Me

I love: Temporary Autonomous Zones , pirate utopias , bicycles - some tall some small some ghosts, mermaids , Super 8 film . And so I made a movie with fishtailed women, civil disobedience, bicycle carnivals and all those people who amaze me.

I joined MySpace to be online friends with Support Daniel McGowan . Daniel is one of my favoritest people - MySpace is owned by Fox, but I can forgive.

I work at a non-profit that provides academic, professional and leadership opportunities to gifted students of color from underprivileged communities. I am now teaching at our leadership retreats, presenting concepts of social justice to our high school students. I love it, but you already knew that (sending them off to Harvard humming Fight the Power)...

This summer I went on the Mississippi with the Miss Rockaway Armada . I'm going through withdrawal. All I can think about is running away and joining up with the circus. But the circus doesn't have health insurance. If there was universal health care, my life would be a lot different.
