    <about><![CDATA[I am a freelance writer, photographer, website designer, and editor. I review books and music for a variety of publications, and am involved with a street newspaper called Edmonton Street News, sold on the streets by people trying to make ends meet. I am also the editor of Boyle McCauley News, a community newspaper focusing on the happenings in the inner city neighbourhoods of Boyle Street and McCauley.<br/><br/>Speaking of social issues, I am passionate about peace, justice, fighting poverty, and media literacy. To that end, I am involved in several grassroots organizations such as the Edmonton Coalition Against War and Racism (ECAWAR), Council of Canadians, and the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters. I attend rallies and activist events, documenting them with my camera for a growing website, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.raisemyvoice.com.">http://www.raisemyvoice.com.</a><br/><br/>Besides writing, music, and social action, I enjoy reading, walking, cycling, hanging out in coffee shops, collecting CDs of ethnic and folk music, and trying out different kinds of ethnic food. I am leaning heavily in a vegetarian direction.]]></about>
