The Absolute Truth began as an underground newspaper at a high school in upstate New York in response to the overwhelming censorship of the official school paper. Since then, it has spread it's wings, if only slightly. It is currently mailed out to several colleges and universities across the United States every time it's published, where the faithful alumni of the paper pass it on to their fellow students.

SociGraff is a twofold project designed for urban youth, combining community contribution and artistic expression. The project should take place over the course of one academic year through weekly after school meetings, and is intended for about 20 students in their junior year of high school. By combining two seemingly unrelated forms of community involvement: legal and artistic, SociGraff will teach students teamwork and empower them with the self-esteem that they can make lasting differences in their communities.

I launched Madison SOS (Speak Out, Sister!) at age 15, in the spring of 2007. I wanted to do something to address several issues in my community of Madison, Wisconsin relating to young women: poor self-esteem, political apathy, and little knowledge of how they as community members could affect grassroots change. A high school student myself, I decided to focus on the high school audience as my primary constituency.
