Hello!
I am a Mother of two who moved to Jax from Clay Co. (GCS to be specific)
I lived in R'side through '08; and worked downtown.
I fell in love with the Springfield Community and moved there in Sept '09.
I have since been looking for avenues into involvement.
I have been "active" in politics within my peer group; fighting apathy, questioning the media, encouraging others to hear BOTH sides of an issue, and VOTE.
I have also had some modest success as an iReporter for CNN.
I am looking forward to reading this forum, participating in meaningful dialogue, and finding where I might be of service to our community!
Looking forward to making your acquaintance,
Golden
Hello!
Welcome and salutations!
Welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard and tell us how you became an iReporter.
Thank you all!
Well, anyone can be an iReporter, you just sign up.
Being a successful at it means that they like your work, and people respond to it.
I have had a really good response! My vids have appeared in prime time shows like Anderson Cooper 360 and The Situation Room.
I don't pretend that I am a real media/journalism person; but I do believe that I have something intelligent to contribute to a discussion on occasion. ;)
I encourage others who feel that they might also have something to contribute to do the same! :D
