...Rosehedge/Multifaith Works
I've worked with many organizations over the years, but for me, Rosehedge/Multifaith Works is the little engine that does. At several locations around Seattle, it provides housing and daily assistance to people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with mental illness, substance dependency, or dementia. It's a Seattle organization and focuses on the immediate community; that's very important to me. I know that when I help out with Rosehedge/Multifaith Works, I will be able to see the difference created within my city. It takes excellent care of the Seattle inhabitants who desperately need the help but who often get overlooked by society. Rosehedge.org
...Caravaggio. I am amazed by the way the artist Michelangelo Caravaggio manipulates light and shadow, making his subjects stand out as if they were a 16th-century photograph in oil paints. He created great controversy by always giving his subjects, even the holiest of public figures, the grit of truth and reality. (Above, The Cardsharps, 1595) Caravaggio-Foundation.org
...actress and singer Audra McDonald. The first time I noticed Audra McDonald was when I listened to the song "Your Daddy's Son" on the Ragtime album. The pure beauty and power of her voice stopped me in my tracks. She emoted so well that I felt every bit of the love, pain, and fear of her character's journey from that one song. Not only is she one of today's greatest talents, she is also a huge advocate for the LGBT community. AudraMcDonald.net
