My Callings

I am called to help ensure my family can meet their own wants and needs in ways that empower them to thrive.

I am called to share my stories and my wisdom with others through my writing.

I am called to fight against the disenfranchisement and disempowerment of others, with particular focus on human trafficking, homelessness, food insecurity, domestic and sexual abuse, and underserved foster children and people with disabilities. I seek to better understand how these focal points overlap with the issues of the psychology of deprivation, systemic inequalities, environmental stewardship, and political and bureaucratic impediments.
