Journalism

I shoot and edit all the video and audio reports appearing here:

My interview with journalist Soledad O’Brien

I was recently invited to speak at a conference at Rhode Island College on race, the media and election 2012, where legendary activist Angela Davis was the keynote speaker.  I had a chance to talk to Dr Davis about the history of racial inclusion in social movements and how activism should be more global.

I talked with actor Forest Whitaker and Earth Institute Jeffrey Sachs about technology, social good, and Whitaker’s new charity PeaceEarth.
