I’m very fortunate to have time and ability to give to my communities. I co-produce the No Name NYC Podcast, which brings you interviews with the performers who have graced the stage of Eric Vetter’s long-running (twenty-nine years!) NYC variety show, No Name and a Bag of Chips. I co-produced the first twenty-eight episodes of Inwood Art Works On Air, a podcast highlighting creatives in upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Every week I’m behind the counter at Word Up Community Bookshop, a multilingual, collectively operated bookshop and arts space in Washington Heights. And for nineteen years now I’ve participated in and (since 2018) co-organized the Annual Lewisburg Polar Bear Plunge in the lovely college town of Lewisburg, PA.
