“I’m not missing a minute of this.
It’s the revolution!”
To that end, I engage in many forms of activism to promote change: at times I’ve carried placards in the streets. At times I’ve worn ‘fuck you-esque’ t-shirts. I’ve lectured before audiences of community members, medical, mental health or other service delivery personnel, providers, administrators, academics, or corporations. And I’ve served on boards behind the scenes, far outside the limelight.
Many projects are listed here, though there have been numerous others. Most of this work is pro-bono.
