My Mission
Speaking truth to power isn’t some empty cliché--at least not for me. It is a guiding force for my work, whether creative writing, journalism,opinion essays, workshops or consulting. The mission is to teach people how to challenge power but also how to empower themselves.
My Vision
I see myself, always, as a positive force in the world, acting deliberately and with purpose to make things and life better for the people I meet on my journey.
