About   (request update)
My ability to grow has introduced me to diverse peoples, places and possibilities. Being born in and leaving rural South Carolina to grow up in Columbus, Ohio; Living and workin in New York City to studying in New Mexico and eventually learning to work, attend school and practice Public Interest Law in California has expanded my vision about how much humanity has in common. I am happy that I left Columbus and moved to New York. I am excited that as a student at a small college in New Mexico, I learned to speak Spanish and appreciate multiculturalism. I am proud that my 20+ years in California did not dim my vision. I love the Lord and I can sit and share with persons of different religions. I have tested my sense of ethnocentrism and learned to dance at Native-American Pow Wow's. I am capable of drumming, singing, writing and my dream is still to publish the four books that I began during my journey into the Word. My dream is to travel with these books and share with women in Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands about our common woes.
