Through the SC Arts Commission, I give poetry workshops in Richland County SC. Most recently I taught fifth graders at Seven Oaks Elementary .

I've performed at the USC Chapel for August 2006 Heroshima Memorial program, for the UU Fellowship of Columbia SC for a program on Islam and at a poetry reading for guests and residents of the Columbia Womens' Shelter.
