| Bio: | (single) Mama, Feminist, Artist, Radical, Union Sister, Vegan, Righteous Babe. The obligatory tickers:      After remaining unaffiliated with any political stream of thought or organization for many years; I have made the progression from naive, disgruntled participant of society to: loud and proud anarcha feminist. I have recently begun identifying as an anarcho-marxist and am a card carrying, dues paying member of the Industrial Worker's Of The World. I am proud to be working class and remain committed to the struggle of working people and the abolishment of the ruling elite and capitalist establishment. I fight for a living wage for all, equality and a call for action against the racist, able-ist, patriarchal, sexist, homophobic, privileged institution humanity is currently controlled by. I stand for a separation of church and state, a call for reproductive freedom and a movement away from a centralized democratic power. I am fiercely pro-choice, and stand behind the statement: abortion on demand and without apology. Reproductive freedom, to me, translates into: the right to bear children, the right to NOT bear children, a womyn's right to decide for herself where, how and IF to give birth and the right to choose to breastfeed or NOT choose to breastfeed. It all boils down to freedom and choice. I believe that anti-choice is misogyny and am not willing to negotiate my opinion. I grapple somewhere between 'Atheist' and 'Agnostic', however, I would define myself as spiritual with a deep reverence for Earth, our environment and a love for humanity. I am a single Mama to Abishai: a Leo and constant inspiration of creativity and abundant source of love; and Rasa: a Peices and a sweet baby inhabiting a mighty, courageous spirit. I raise my kin to have a deep rooted respect for life and living things, embody strength of character, critical thought, empathy and resilience. They are taught according to unschooling and Waldorf philosophies with Attachment Parenting principals. I believe that loving, non restrictive, largely unstructured education is crucial in children's early development and have waged a war against gender stereotyping and sexist; oppressive media teaching prescribed gender roles to our children. I push for community and bond through love, solidarity and communication. I love to get lost within the depths of my imagination or a good book and spend hours perusing various subjects and titles in bookstores. I bake like crazy and have mastered vegan deserts. I am learning to love myself. I fight for one class, one struggle, no slaves and no masters. We are the future and the future is in our hands. Look around, listen, think, move forward, evolve, question authority and don't give up the fight. "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On quiet days, I can hear her breathing." -Arundhati Roy "I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser!" -Mother Jones | ||||
