About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!

My Interests

Social justice, public health, cancer research, cultural and community competency, education, learning, community organizing, empowerment theory, hope, infusing diversity in whatever I do, busting up all kinds of "isms" (racism, classism, sexism, etc.) -- any oppressive actions that keeps us separate and unequal, movies, chatting, sewing, writing, volunteerism, dance, dance, and more dance! Reading for leisure (when I can find the time) and free-writing/poetry.
