I am a journalist and anti-racism activist who holds deeply-felt convictions about the injustice of this society to people of color and my responsibility as a white person to do everything I can to rectify it. I attempt to stand by my convictions in my writing, teaching, and in my everyday private life.

Along with my work as a staff writer and photographer for Caribbean Life newspaper, I speak on White Privilege: What Is It, and How Does It Show Itself? in venues around the country. The whole idea is to grapple with the difficult issue of racism by looking at it from a fresh viewpoint - the viewpoint of what I, as a white person, am given, unearned, simply because of the color of my skin, in contrast to what other people are deprived of unfairly because of the color of theirs.

I'm also the Communications Director for Caucasians United for Reparations and Emancipation (CURE), an organization of white Americans supporting reparations to descendants of slavery. In this capacity I also speak at religious and secular organizations, conferences, universities, as well as on TV and radio throughout the country. To find out more about this workshop, please click here. I also have a chapter in CURE's new anthology, The Debtors: Whites Respond to the Call for Black Reparations.

I've also recently begun speaking on Being an Effective Social Activist - the Personal Side. I do so because I've noticed that while much is written and said about social justice issues of all kinds and strategies for how to organize around them abound, there's a paucity of information about how to examine ourselves to make sure that our human flaws - which we all have - don't interfere with our social justice work. Just as with my white privilege workshop, I delve into this issue not by pointing an accusatory finger at anyone, but by being honest about where I myself have - and do - fall short, and what I've learned from it.

I hope you'll continue to revisit my site periodically to read new articles and see more photos as they're posted.
