I’m the February 2010 featured artist for the United Divas (aka the ‘Diva of the Month’). It is an honor to be showcased by this amazing organization, whose mission is “to empower people to be artistic leaders, professionals, innovators and role models for both aspiring and practicing artists, with an emphasis on helping women achieve their goals as a creative professional.”

Thank you for the love and support United Divas! We love your work.

Molly Peterson from NPR’s KPCC in Los Angeles did a 3-part multi-media story on my music, projects and activism work in climate change issues. In celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. (whose words are an inspiration to the concept behind Vol. I: Battle Cry), NPR showcased my work both on the air and online.

You can read/listen to the interview here.

Below is the video where I explain the motivations and inspiration behind each song from Vol. I: Battle Cry. (Note that this is not the same interview as the above link.) Enjoy!

Writer, blogger and femme extraordinaire Christine Arena recently included my perspective and experience with the Achuar tribe in the Amazon rainforest, in a story she did entitled Message From the Amazon. The story was syndicated on 3BL Media and Global Post, and focuses on the wisdom and experience the tribal nations bring to their embattled resistance to multinational oil companies, who want to drill under their land for resources. Thank you for shedding light on such an important topic Christine!

Thank you to Romina Wendell and the great team of Canada’s Exclaim! Magazine for the poetic review of Vol. I: Battle Cry.
