One Amazing Thing I've Done
Went to Asia to work for a nonprofit on a whim and stayed for one month the first time and 5 months the second time. Didn't speak English for almost a month during the first trip. (I don't speak another language—yet.) Started a nonprofit online newspaper in 2020. https://www.blackcatholicmessenger.org/
Teach, Learn, Share
I can (sort of) teach about Christianity/Catholicism, singing, and technology; I love to learn about other cultures and languages.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good conversation, my singing (?), and an honest, drama-free personality.
My Interests
Music, basketball, reporting, opinion writing, and theology.
