peaceful presence

About Me: 

I connected with the women who created PULSE for the global community at the Clark College Women's Conference. I majored in community Development and women's studies at PSU. I think it is vital to create supportive communities rather than trying to 'fix' individuals. Creating a sense of place, locally and globally, helps each individual develop to his or her true potential. I'm still working on it, and am hoping that this will be such a supportive community for everyone!

I also belong with a group of Radical Women. Come join us. A women's leadership group of committed socialist, feminist women working for change. We work alongside of feminist men and women in the Freedom Socialist Party. I will post info about Radical Women's upcoming conference, Oct. 3-6 in San Francisco, elsewhere on this site.

My Passions: 
Affordable housing, feminism, reading for pleasure, and/with my kitty. Long walks in the warm rain, sitting sipping coffee while watching a thunderstorm.
My Challenges: 
Stepping out of the farmiliar and taking risks. My young adult son who lives at home.
My Vision for the Future: 
Equality, with socio-economic justice, for all!
My Areas of Expertise: 
Community and media outreach. Some (hopefully more!) grantwriting experience.
