Ok, I'm warmed up now. I've figured out how to get started, thanks to the urban mavens on Urban Baby, and I've told my mom and Miriam about my new blog.
Now I can tell you a little more about me. I'm a multi-talented, spread-too-thin, mother-of-three, public health professional, part-time educator, part-time journalist, member of two (too many) Boards of Directors, doing that work-mom-balancing thang like so many others.
I used to work in public health programs in Africa (I had a farm in Africa...) which allowed me to dovetail my fluency in French with my passion for health, women's health issues, health as a human right.
Yes, a human right. I believe health is a right, not a privilege, not a benefit of working more than part-time. And that's my starting point.
I'm working on an article on maternal mortality now, a tragedy that is so under the radar, most people don't know anything about it. It's become my mission to get an article out on the subject. The Chicago Tribune has accepted my proposal, but only for an 800-900 word article. Well, it's a start. I'll always have blogspot.
Watch this space.
