Tell Us Your Good Deed

I work hard in my job as a teacher of psychology to encourage within my students feelings of empathy and respect for all individuals. I also spend time talking with anyone who comes my way about the hard times they may be facing and I try to help them gain new insights about their situations so that they can begin to move forward once again in their lives. I have a passion for teaching about the struggles of women worldwide and in planning educational and cultural events that honor women everywhere.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because I love the theme of this project and its commitment to fostering understanding among individuals with varying identities. Anything that works to bring people together in joyful ways, as this project does, is great in my book.

I created the POP (Power of Pink) Nia Tour 2011 to benefit the PINK Revolution, a Central Mass breast cancer charity that funds research & support for local breast cancer patients. I will be bringing women together to dance (Nia) at 4 locations this October (breast cancer awareness month) in celebration for our feminine energy & power.

Why are you participating?

I love the idea of turning labels into a positive thing, and seeing people with labels differently. I love charity. The faces make it more personal.

I try to good deeds every day - letting a car go out in front of mine, holding the door for people, etc.

Why are you participating?

So often we focus on the things we don't like about others or the world in general. I like how this project highlights the good in people.
