About Me
I care deeply about peace, in all its forms. My family came from Italy and Ireland, landing in New York. We've pretty much dedicated our lives to education as a means to opportunity. I work with schools in Detroit and Ypsilanti in an effort to alleviate the harsh economic impacts to the state of Michigan's budget and how those cuts are affecting our largely unemployed communities.
I just got off the Southern Sailing cruise where Michael Franti played three brilliant shows to a crowd of southern rockers and myself! I left that ship feeling ready to go back to work and keep on keepin' on. His music fills me with hope, like no other artist ~
Power to the peaceful. Thanks for fueling us up Spearhead. I needed it :o)
Interests
On the lighter side of life, anything that involves water. Rowing, swimming, jet skiing. Yoga helps me get grounded when I get all worked up with our crazy world. Which happens daily.
On a more serious note, I want to put an end to the illegal mineral mining in the Congo region that drives the worst violence against women and their families. The Coltan in our cell phones comes at a high price to the people who live on the land that contains those minerals. Families are presently forced out by organized corporate gangs who rape and brutalize all women to force their families to move. If you want to join me, my sister and the Jesuit Refugee Services coalition, I hope you'll join our campaign to demand cell phone companies only purchase these minerals from legally harvested lands without violating basic human rights laws. Once I became aware of these abuses, I gave up my cell phone and life has improved tremendously as a result. More info on this campaign to follow...

Each show we stood elbow to elbow, not thinking he could top the last performance...and each time he did. I can't move my legs from jumping for three straight days. Rockin' like no...
