ME + Activism: Then, Now & Moving Forward

A Brief Overview of What This Section of My Site Entails

I grew up within a family of outspoken and justice-fighting love, from picketing in front of our church, to working with Habitat for Humanity,  to learning about the horrors of domestic violence from my mother, who was an activist in that world. The value of fighting for others was instilled in me from birth. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure my mom was picketing with the teachers union when I was in utero. 

My work over the past twenty years has been no different. It’s included creating staged arts projects to combat homelessness, meth-addiction, and racism, to working with Civil Rights Icons to create large-scale music festivals.

It has been global, working to free villages in India from slavery and to provide an education for the kids in those villages, as well as close-to-home, fostering, and soon adopting my own children from the foster-care system.

As I continue to work in wellness, I’m more focused than ever on creating change in the world. While I’ll continue to share #getrealgood Meditations, Parenting, News & Food, I’m excited to add to my work by amplifying Black and ally-voices in the movement, celebrate activists who are creating change and expand this website and my work into leaning-in to learning, growing, and continuing a journey of activism and anti-racism.
