I volunteer at my sons library, because of the budget cuts they can no longer afford a librarian so to keep it open for the children I volunteer my time. I also volunteer at ACE which is a non profit organization to help African immigrant children get caught up in school and adjust to life in America.

Why are you participating?

I think it's a beautiful thing to see the good in every individual.

I plant fruit trees, grow vegetables and teach my 5 year old nephew to do it so while having fun. Try to be an informed citizen and empathic human being, in order to make the right choices for not doing harm to me or other beings. My work goes around counter-human trafficking and the improvement of migration.

Why are you participating?

I found the project very interesting but also when you are being a tourist and are stopped for taking your pictures in a salsa studio, you just say I'm in.

Photographed and wrote a book about grandmothers all over the world who are creating a better world for grandchildren everywhere. One hundred percent of my author royalties go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign to benefit African grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by AIDS.

The No Evil Project is a creative way to engage others in examining and understanding how pernicious stereotypes can be.

Along with a crew of dedicated students and friends, I organized an annual 5k race to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, in memory of a special friend and his loving family. We run to prove our strength and health as a community and to offer support for people who are lost in their dark times. The money goes directly to the AFSP for suicide awareness programs in schools. Much love to my fellow organizers, runners, and survivors.

Why are you participating?

Intersectionality baby: we all exist at the intersection of the many many roads down which we walk.

I am a committee member, subcommittee chair, team captain, and the current treasurer for my Relay For Life, an event that raises awareness and donations for the American Cancer Society, which in turn uses that money for research and programs that help those diagnosed with cancer and their families. I spend most of my time trying to get more people involved and showing everyone how important Relay is.
