Greetings from East Philly,

My home

EastPhilly: My interests are in freedom and justice. One who recognizes that the Indigenous people who lived here prior to 1492 were subjected to genocide. Recently during excavation for the new Girard Ave. I-95 ramp relics from 1300 years ago were unearthed. This clearly shows the flaws in Columbus discovering America. He simply stabbed the beach with the Spanish flag thinking he had landed in India. Does not sound so bright to me. From that point to today one can see the destruction one can do in the search for gold. Just check out East Philly, the abandoned buildings alone represent violated land. It is a nice place to live right now, imagine how much greater it would be if people would put aside their profit driven lives and get back to the land! I write this blog to share my 60 years of life both in East Philly and the surrounding suburbs where I have worked. We already have the diversity and infrastructure. As I write my stories I want people who read them to feel connected to the basic ideas I have for real freedom. I will blog about my life growing up here and the working years raising my family.
