- Storytellers for Good Launching this Weekend
Maybe it’s cliche for Northern California, but in addition to getting closer to safely practicing the handstands that have alluded me, a recent yoga teacher training introduced me to individuals doing notable work in media, medicine, and tattoo design (but of course). One of them was former broadcast reporter Cara Jones, who is launching a [...]
- SF Welcomes The[Un]Observed
I have found few online resources where it’s possible to find West African Afro beat, reflections on public transport miscommunications, and interviews with the Dame of Punk (she being designer Vivienne Westwood), and it’s not for lack of trying. As someone with undiagnosed ADHD and an affinity for the search bar, the locally based audio [...]

The festival, which premieres annually in SF before heading to Brussels, Beijing and other host cities and is art directed [...]
- Investment or Indentured Servitude? HUB asks Entrepreneurs
On Wednesday the community space The HUB will host The Life Investment panel to raise the question of whether speakers and participants would “sell themselves for social change”–the context being company founders who seek to offer three to six percent of their life’s earnings to raise $300K to $600K in the short term in the [...]

- Global Lives Project Premier at Yerba Buena
I’m unabashedly excited about the international premier of the Global Lives Project tonight at the Yerba Buena Center. After watching some of the early footage from the library of human life experience’s “day in the life” shoots, seeing the completed videos records of ten people from around the world who represent the diversity of the [...]
