Why community?

We always have one thing in common, we are all becoming something.

I see myself as a compassionate community organizer who looks to best allocate the resources of any size community or group.
All of the resources I need or that you need to solve complex problems are at the fingertips of any community. I bring those hands together.

Why creativity?

Issues and opportunities are complex.
Creative solutions that involve all stakeholders are necessary. I keep the spirit and soul of many in mind. This encourages creative solutions that include ownership.

I discover new ways to turn multiple visions into practical reality using my cultural, social, business and economic knowledge.

Music builds community, share a song with me and you just might see it in a post, tweet, training, exercise, or with my non-profit Community Records Foundation.

Let me know how you might think it would build community, comradeship, or get people together.

Preserving the Endangered Language of Community

By: Justin - July 6, 2009, at 10:59 am

This weekend I got a chance to talk to my mom. I got into my rant about how we are losing communities and not sharing resources. From my soap box I overshot my point. I found myself stuck my own generational rut and my mom looking at me with eyes that said disconcertingly, young people [...]

The protest inherent in our language

By: Justin - January 7, 2008, at 10:58 pm

Recently I was hooked on this mini-series on the history of the English language. It turns out the language played a back seat for a while but thanks to its versatility it held on throughout the years. Often as a symbol of rebellion and the common folks’ vernacular, the shapes the language took [...]

Becoming a child again

By: Justin - December 15, 2007, at 2:19 am

A quotation provided by subscriber kylemazoo
