Introducing myself and my journal: Empowering Communities at the Core

About Me:
I have over 10 year's experience researching, writing, and analyzing international issues such as trade impacts on the environment, industrial agriculture, and indigenous rights. Lately I've been writing on climate justice, women's empowerment and rights of nature. I have a blog called Taming the Tiger (http://suzanneyork.wordpress.com), in which I focus on India, climate/environment, and human rights and write on related issues. In addition to my writing, I am currently volunteering my research skills with the Women's Earth Alliance in Berkeley, CA.

My Passions:
Hiking, Indian cooking, reading

My Challenges:
Getting people to fully understand the impacts of free trade agreements

My Vision for the Future:
A world full of health and empowered women and their families and a view by society that nature has rights.

My Areas of Expertise:
Impacts of global trade, indigenous rights
