ABOUT ME

I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can ‘be together,’ while acknowledging real differences in history, power, & privilege. We cannot learn from each other without dialogue (openness, honesty, and a willingness to hear). The search for these conversations have taken me to the US, UK, India, Pacific, Caribbean, & Southern Africa....
Me according to a kind friend: http://alsultanaa.blogspot.com/2009/09/people-you-would-trust-your-life-with.html

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost amazing...for my 30th b-day I wanted to soar into the air, but hang-glider broke and trip was cancelled... lesson learned: only jump off cliffs metaphorically.
