What issues are most important to you?

FGM, equal rights for all sexual orientations, eating disorders, bullying, and domestic violence. I try to provide a safe place (both physical and spiritual) for mental health to grow, and self-love to develop. Young girls should be nurtured to grow and become healthy women, both physically (in the home, at school; as they get older, in the workplace, etc.), and in their minds and hearts. I feel it is my responsibility to help that happen.

What kind of social activism do you engage in?

ocal charities; gay rights; anti-FGM groups; anti-domestic violence groups

What organizations do you love or work with?

local charities; gay rights; anti-FGM groups; anti-domestic violence groups

What books, music, films, etc. do you think educate and empower women?

“The Silent Female Scream”... "The Ethical Slut"... "Awakening Joy"... "Women Who Run With Wolves"... "The Mists of Avalon"... "Women's Rituals"... lots more I can't think of at the moment....

Career: what do you do or want to do?

I am a paralegal. I hope to become a Certified Women’s Power Circle Facilitator.

What skills and interests to do you have to offer to others in the Red Tent Women's Project communty? This is your chance, so sell yourself!

I hope to become a Certified Women’s Power Circle Facilitator through studies with Rosjke Hasseldine should our on-line program bear fruit. I am a very positive person, and try to influence others to enjoy the gift of their lives. I started a FaceBook group called SteppingStones to share positivity as a real power.

What would you like other members of this community to know? About yourself, about the world...anything (try not to be profane, though)!

I am a 54 year old Pagan/Wiccan woman and have been since my early teens. I am true to myself, and encourage others to be the same. I believe in self-love, not selfishness.

What was your "women really matter and I'm going to do something about it" moment?

When I was attending Catholic grammar school, I told the nuns I wanted to be a Priest. Their response was that such a thing could never be possible. That was an early lightbulb moment for me, and everything I have done since then in this spiderweb of time is connected to it.
