Overview
About Me
I am a wonderful, fun, multicultural, multi lingual life voyager full of love and peace, food and fun. I love to dance, have traveled over all of the world except Asia and love people, culture and peace. No strangers just prospective new friends. Life is love. My travels and cooperative living are teaching me that we have more in common than we have different. Celebrate this. You can see more about me and the work I do, the nonprofit I have founded at http://fssg.blogspot.com. Local2Global Advocates for Food Sovereignty. I am an advocate for food sovereignty and host a community radio program on the food, health, environmental and social justice movements of today. I also write a blog and publish on that topic at the above link, promote the CUban Sustainable Agriculture Movement and support African Food Sovereignty. Peace is the most importnat thing, in ourselves and in our society. I just returned from a month long peace retreat at Plum illage.org , the community and home of global peace leader, THich Nhat Hahn. Love!
