I'm a writer excited to meet with folks around envisioning & executing ways to improve the quality of people's lives on personal, intimate, & institutional levels. I write weekly to my original newsletter to this end, imagining & publishing pictures of realizable freedom that can be experienced in day to day life & interpersonal & environmental interactions. I've been in Atlanta for the past year now, & I am also very excited to expand community in the area. Feel free to reach out; I'd love to begin getting to know one another, see how we can make each other smile.
