One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being present and part of massive struggles, marches, luchas, manifestaciones in many countries. Fearless, passionate people fighting for the things they believe in. There is nothing like it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ive worked with children for many years as an art teacher and language teacher. A goal of mine is to work with indigenous communities preserving their native languages and traditions.
I am extremely interested in learning languages, learning about farming and most of all meeting local artists and artesanos and learning about their craft: weaving, carving, dying, embroidering, painting.
