When I was 6 I believed (truly truly) that I was the reincarnation of Joan of Arc. I think its because I was small, but wanted so badly to be tough. That's still true. I am also the Online Community Manager for this fine site.
In the past I have taught audio documentary to teens, worked as freelance audio producer, and served as the Youth Services Coordinator for the Arab American Action Network.Featured in playlists

Do you have any solutions for homelessness? Not looking for a total cure (that might be unrealistic) just something that may have been overlooked...What would you do personally to help?
Type an answer, then listen for it !on-air.

Do you think homeless people are responsible for their own predicament? Why or why not?
As with all of us, I imagine there is a measure of personal responsibility, a measure of fate -- and a pinch of chance thrown in there.
There are factors beyond an individual person's control that can add up and put them in a situation where they are homeless. A young person my choose to leave their home because they are being abused--they have agency in choosing to leave a crappy situation, but they didn't ask for the crappy situation, you know? I think it's complicated.
It's a bad idea to entirely blame a homeless person for being homelessness--but people do that to justify refusing to help homeless people. Lame.
