I am thoughtful, kind, and silly.

My Self-Summary

I am a journalist & entrepreneur living in New York. I just got back from six months of reporting in Uganda, after finishing grad school. I was born in California, and grew up in North Carolina and Long Island.

What I’m doing with my life

Trying to hang in there! :)

I’m really good at

reading, writing, cuddling, back rubs, being a good friend

The first things people usually notice about me

I generally try to fly under their radar screen but maybe height?

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Black Like Me, Migrations of the Heart, anything by Mahmood Mamdani, Naomi Klein...
Music: M.I.A., Coldplay, Counting Crows, Erykah Badu, Jem
TV: Six Feet Under, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City, Rachel Maddow, Katie Couric
Food: Sweet stuff, blueberries, Chinese food, Mexican...

The six things I could never do without

1. Family and friends
2. God (I was raised secular, but have spiritual inclinations.)
3. Anything East Africa-related
4. Coffee
5. Tea
6. Gchat

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Journalism, newspapers, web, East Africa.

On a typical Friday night I am

Out with friends, reading, writing, snuggling...

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm a bit shy.

You should message me if

you are a kind person.
