About Me

I’ve spent my life trying to amplify the voices often erased in the madness of war or drown in the depths of poverty and exploitation. Whether it be from human-manufactured food inequality, or labor exploitation, or the deployment of mindless drones to murder innocent children as they play, I have brought the voices of the victims of systemic violence to the halls of the powerful who harm them.

War isn’t a number or a theory it has real consequences and I work tirelessly to shine a light on the corruption and the people who make endless wars and economic inequality possible.

I believe firmly in the humanity of people everywhere. There is always someone worth speaking to. Let’s use our voices.

I may be tiny but my voice is mighty.

Notice!
I've written these pages as a tribute to the life works of both the living and deceased. The words are my own (unless otherwise stated) and I have done my best to respect what I believe to be the spirit and voices of those I admire.
