Recent Activism and Events: In January of 2009 I participated in the Florida Brain Tumor Association’s Conference in Tampa. In March I conducted two Healing through Creativity workshops at the Long Beach Voices & Visions Spoken Word Festival. In April I participated in the UCLA Brain Tumor Conference. In June I facilitated Healing through Creativity Workshops with the 6th grade class of Mary Bragg Elementary School in the ABC School District and with attendees at the Cedars Sinai Outsmarting Brain Tumors conference. In August of 2009 I participated in my second First Descents Kayaking Camp. The narrative I wrote about it is featured in Kayaking Session online.
Participating in these events has been a wonderful way to share what I have learned as a survivor. Through activism and the publication of my poetry I have touched thousands of people. It has been very fulfilling to help others process what they are struggling with and impart what I know about focusing on and gaining positive outcomes. I would love to come share my motivational workshop with your group.
