I move words like fingers move crochet thread. Loop the string, drive the hook, keep the line taught. Tension and slack; creating something beautiful and new--useful--from a simple string.

I'm Director of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, where we highlight the bravery and strength of people who have had to leave their birth places, and work to build a safer, more welcoming state for all.

I'm also the President of Anacaona, a strategic communications firm supporting nonprofits and socially-responsible companies with narrative development; communications strategy and planning; media relations; training; book writing; and more.

I have progressive values and midwestern roots. Follow me on LinkedIn. #antiracism #abolition #dignity #love #liberation
