Born in Chicago, where I lived in both the city and outlying areas until I was 18. Upon graduation from high school I moved to southern Illinois for college. In 2008 I left school to move to Washington (state) and volunteer through AmeriCorps*VISTA, after which I finished my degree and moved to N.C. for more VISTA service. In August, I will conclude my last year with AmeriCorps as a State/National member in Boston, and then move to New Orleans to help rebuild houses.

Tina is writing her thesis on the "West Memphis Three" - the modern day equivalent of Salem, Mass. - and volunteers her time as a Domestic Violence Advocate.

I am an intellectual, scholar, activist, and journalist, as well as a prolific writer interested in reporting and analyzing a wide variety of issues in the news, the economy, popular culture, and in medicine and science. I am a true "Renaissance Man," as indicated by the vast diversity of my expertise and education, and believe that all fields of human knowledge, inquiry, and creativity are intrinsically linked, just as all humans and creation constitute an inexorably connected and mulitfaceted web of existence. My studies inform my clinical practice, and inform how I educate others, cook for others, and feed others, both physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I plan on incorporating my clinical and holistic background into my future goals of pursuing both medicine and ordained ministry. I am also the author of two forthcoming books on Islam, Feminism, and Women's Rights in Literature and Religion (expected April 2011), as well as a book on the History of US Foreign Policy (expected June 2011), and on Progressive Religion (expected July 2011). I am also the contributor of recipes and am a writer for The New American online news magazine. I am a lifelong New Yorker, but have traveled to six continents, and over 60 countries, and am pursuing additional training as a licensed NYC Tour Guide. Life and its myriad challenges and opportunities are to be embraced, rather than feared, and with a firm basis of courage and principles, I hope to bring my knowledge, experiences, and love for the arts, food, culture, learning, and medicine/health promotion to the table. I write with conviction, and am open to learning and writing on just about anything. I am also informed by my multiracial, multicultural, interfaith, and multiethnic background, and have a deep appreciation for the cultural and religious practices of others Journalism is living, and I complete all tasks with passion and commitment.
