I'm a Southerner by birth...grew up in Mississippi and Louisiana. Attended Converse, an all women's college in South Carolina and studied Accounting. Traveled to China for two years and remained committed to my Southern roots by living in Guizhou Province. Made one small exception by marrying Jason-from Vermont, my favorite northerner. We now have settled temporarily in a neutral area--Charlottesville, VA where we just had our first child.

Freedom is a big deal to me- human rights such as basic health for women. I would rescue women who are vulnerable to forced labor and similar challenges. Especially mothers...I'd save mothers in conflict situations around the world, who are struggling to provide for their little ones that depend on them daily.

Moses, Britney Spears, Elijah, John Mayer, Jesus, Mary-mother of Jesus, Amy Carmichael, William Wilberforce, Any public figure who really bothers me (Once I meet someone in person I become a lot less critical!)
