Your Products, Services or Dream

GimpGirl: community, for women with disabilities
Vesuvius Group: all the pieces to support community, for nonprofits, educational institutions, and arts organizations in virtual worlds & social media
Alternate Roots: an organization for artists & community builders which I am a part of building and draw strength from.

Barter-friendly?

maybe - most of my current projects are with groups so I need to talk with others before committing to barter arrangements.

Ultimate Success is?

finding a job that's fulfilling, or making my own business, and making my own home & place in the community where i can do good community building work, while building a life with my partner and her child.

You'd like to gain what from LRBN members?

I'd like to meet other women who are running their own non-traditional businesses, especially other women who are not afraid of technology, and other women who are community connectors and linkers. I want to meet others who are living outside the box, and I want to do this in Atlanta and not online for a change. I also want to learn from them and connect with what they are doing and see how we can help each other.

What are your top three most important goals in the next year?

Networking, Business Exposure & Publicity, Finding Clients/Distribution Venues
