Brooklyn, NY
United States
I founded the first national women's media analysis, media literacy education and media justice advocacy organization, and wrote the first book about how reality TV works as a backlash against gender and racial justice.
Media narratives demonize feminists, social justice activists, and anti-racists as "fringe", "angry", "selfish", and "unpatriotic", among other stereotypes.

To create awareness and make a difference.
President For Life of the I Talk to Anyone Club. Plus I work to make schools more equitable for everyone.
I love the idea that were are all in this together. In spite of our differences, we still have two eyes, two ears, and a single mouth, which we can use for good...or evil.
I contribute to knitting projects for children, and I saved my father's life in 3rd grade.
Try hard to hear no evil, speak no evil, and definitely do not want to see evil.

I challenge those that use problematic language, which boxes others into stereotypes that they personally do not identify.
I see this project as a place to share our identities, which we often do not get a chance to share with strangers. Using this platform, a mosaic of labels and faces challenges stereotypes and single story narratives.

Holding doors and smiling at strangers is my favorite thing to do throughout the day. I get stuck holding doors for long periods of time. I also work tirelessly to educate, understand, and share empathy, compassion with those around me
Because I hear evil everywhere I go. Because I see evil everywhere I go. Because I need to speak against evil

Give people another chance to explain themselves.
I think that self definition is important. We may never get away from labels but I would love for us to get beneath the labels to come away with a better understanding of the value that they hold (or don't hold) for individuals.
