I support WorldOregon because a global perspective is essential in today's world to understand our past and future. 

Some causes I support: Mercycorps, Orkeeswa school in Tanzania and climate justice

A person who inspires me: Maya Angelou because of her tireless advocacy for the inclusion of all voices and her contributions to the literary world.

Why Oregon means the world to me: It's been home for most of my life and the culture and community here is what I want for my children.
