Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I worked for 3 years at a nonprofit organization that helps families, children and individuals with mental health needs. I am also an activist for social rights, eradicating stigma, and promoting change.

Why are you participating?:

Because while labels can be useful for categorizing, they are also damaging and come with sets of prejudices that need to be challenged.. and because the pictures of me aren't the greatest, I want to try accepting them as they are anyway.

Poet

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I write poems that, I hope, illuminate the beauty and truth I find in this crazy, maddening world. With any luck and a little grace, they (I hope) help others to do the same...and while it's a lot to hope for, I hope that it contributes in some small way to lessening Evil.

Why are you participating?:

I'm here because I think there's a lot of Evil out there and anything I can do to push back against it, I try and do. I think it's easy to get complacent or even to despair in the face of it -- this is one small pushback.
