I started contributing to Global Voices where I did blogging roundups from Cambodia. In 2007, I raised money to help sponsor the first Cambodian Bloggers conference and raised a lot of the money via Twitter as Shel Israel noted in his book, Twitterville. Here’s a video and blog post I wrote for Blogher back then.

Mata, over at Blogher, wrote a terrific post called " Three Ways you can simply change the world for the better. Donate $10 or more to our cause through Global Giving now !

At the time, I was a program director for an arts education program and a facilitator of career counseling workshops for artists. Although our world still has tremendous challenges, I think more people, especially young people, realize the importance of being engaged in their communities on a local, national or global level.
Last month I wrote a short post for Blogher, Roadies for a Cause , about a nonprofit called Lokahi Outreach , that partners with organizations like the ONE campaign and Oxfam to help them do grassroots campaigning on the road. The organization's founder, Brande Jackson, took the time to answer my Solutionary Women e-interview questions.
Does anyone in the room identify as an artist, by any chance? I just want to dispel the myth that we are not activists and that we are not artists. When Sophia contacted me and asked if I would talk here, my first thought was, "You know, I could talk here, but I just know so many amazing women who have stories that I want to share."
