As part of my communications work to help Kamala and Tim win in November, I’m so happy to be a moderator for the Facebook group Harris for New York. Every state has its own group and these are official groups run by Kamala’s and Tim’s campaign. (You’ll also see me posting on Harris for Pennsylvania and Harris for Georgia.) I was a moderator for Pantsuit Nation in 2016. I’m using everything I learned then to help Tim and Kamala win.
These pages are places to build community, get organized with others in your state, share information, and volunteer the time, talents, and resources you have to win this election. To find your state group, go to the search bar and type in “Harris for [state]”. The logo will look like the one below — a blue background with white text that says “Harris for [state]”.
You join a state’s page based on where you live, work, went to school, or another important tie to it. Every request to join and every post in every state Facebook group is reviewed by moderators like me.
While we combat misinformation and disinformation, the vast majority of the posts by moderators and members are positive, uplifting, and focus on Kamala and Tim’s stance on all the issues. These groups are also where we share official posts with information directly from the campaign. Also, they are places of JOY!
We’ve got 74 days until election day. Let’s make every day count. We have no time to waste.
The short of it:
Writer. Health, education, and art advocate. Theater and film producer. Visual artist. Product geek. Proud alumnae of the University of Pennsylvania (BA) and the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia (MBA). Inspired by ancient wisdom & modern tech. Proliferator of goodness. Opener of doors. Friend to animals. Fan of creative work in all its wondrous forms. I use my business skills to create passion projects that build a better world. I’ve been called the happiest New Yorker, and I try hard to live up to that title every day.
The long of it:
My career has stretched across Capitol Hill, Broadway theatre, education, nonprofit fundraising, health and wellness, and Fortune 500 companies in retail, media, entertainment, technology, and financial services. I’ve been a product developer and product manager, theater manager, strategic consultant, marketer, voice over artist, , teacher, and fundraiser. I use my business and storytelling to support and sustain passion projects that build a better world. In every experience, I’ve used my sense of and respect for elegant design to develop meaningful products, services, programs, and events.
While building a business career, I also built a strong portfolio as a journalist, novelist, freelance writer, interviewer, presenter, and public speaker. My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, PBS.org, Boston.com, Royal Media Partners publications, and The Motley Fool on a wide range of topics including business, technology, science, health, education, culture, and lifestyle. I have also been an invited speaker at SXSW, Teach for America, Avon headquarters, Games for Change, NYU, Columbia University, Hunter College, and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. The first book in my young adult book series, Emerson Page and Where the Light Enters, was acquired by a publisher and launched in November 2017. I’m currently working on the second book in the series.
A recovering multi-tasker, I’m equally at home in front of my Mac, on my yoga mat, walking my rescue dog, Phineas, traveling with a purpose, or practicing the high-art of people watching. I also cut up small bits of paper and put them back together as a collage artist.
My company:
I’m bringing together all of my business and creative career paths as the Founder of Double or Nothing Media:
• I craft products, programs, and projects that make a difference;
• I build the business plans that make what I craft financially sustainable;
• I tell the stories that matter about the people, places, and products that inspire me.
