ABOUT ME

I love getting to know new people, especially people who value social justice and human rights, from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"I care because I want you to care about me. I care because I have become aware of my absolute dependency upon you, whoever you are, for the outcome of my social, my democratic experience."
— June Jordan

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Niagara Falls -- Even more beautiful than I expected

Tate Modern Art Museum, London -- Jenny Holzer's work blew me away

Biking around the West Side of Toronto in August -- it's not a very beautiful city all the time, so when it is it takes you by surprise :)
