I started my own non-profit organization called Rock for RSD in order to help raise money for a cure for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
I have been bullied for everything from being overweight to being in a wheelchair. Instead of firing back, you need to do something about it.

In the summers, I volunteer my time at a local school to help children with learning disabilities get further in their education by helping them with their reading, writing, and math. By doing this, not only am I helping them, I am helping myself to become a better person in society and it means a lot to me. I also volunteer wherever I can because it makes me feel happy knowing I'm helping others.
Evil is an unnecessary aspect of society. By participating in events, such as the No Evil Project, I am standing against anything evil and the outcomes it hopes to achieve.

I volunteer at the Boys and Girls club in the Homework room. It is definitely one of the best experiences because the kids are so amazing and I hope I make them smile as much as they make me smile. I also love to laugh. If I can make at least one person laugh with me a day, then it's been a good day!
Everyone has some good in them, it just may not be the first thing you see. We need to give people a chance and from my experience it's usually worth it!

June 25th 2011, I shaved my head for the St. Baldrick's Childhood Cancer Research Foundation. With the help of my mother, family, and friends I was able to raise $4,000 to this amazing organization, and donate 4, 12" ponytails to Locks of Love. In the weeks leading up to my donation I was just simply excited. When I was having my head shaved I was all smiles, from ear to ear. It was my hair dresser that was nervous and my dad who couldn't watch.
Who I am isn't about who I am with, or what I look like, but it is who I am inside, and that I am sick of people judging me for that outside mask that we all have. We hide what's inside with the vain mask that everyone sees, our superficial selves.

I try to live my life based on what my heart tells me. I always try to make my decision based on what I feel is the right thing to do. I put others before myself. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my friends and family smile because of something I have done for them.

I surround myself with friends of diverse backgrounds and talk about seemingly "uncomfortable" multicultural topics openly with them. When you find out who a person is individually, stereotypes don't matter anymore.
I am participating to support diversity awareness at my school, Quinnipiac University.
Helped to rebuild a Southern Black Baptist church, one of many, which were destroyed by arsonists and labeled as hate crimes.

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.
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.
