A human living in Tacoma, WA with my partner and our two dogs.

I have recently have gotten into pottery and sewing as new hobbies having taken local classes recently in Tacoma.
Diversity and inclusion matter!

Indian Time, a newspaper that served the Mohawk Nation, informed readers for over 40 years. Then, it vanished.
To understand the demise of one of America’s oldest Indigenous newspapers, we spoke with Marjorie Skidders, Isaac White, and Stephanie Sugars.

"We have to protect children at all costs!"
Okay, so let's invest in improving the air in classrooms to prevent viral infections and chronic illness.
"No, not that."

Let's invest in SNAP, school meals, and healthcare for children.
"No, not that."

Washington state reports more hate crimes than most other states. We've ranked in the top five states since 2018, according to FBI statistics.

The ones with the greatest burden...
The ones who look out for the good of others...

Be strong and courageous, but you don't need to do it alone.
