I was honored to contribute a multimedia element to a story on affordable housing on Elevation DC. The whole special report package is worth a careful read. My graphic is under “Affordable housing: Then and now.” It’s a two-part piece showing old and newer (wrong and right?) ways to approach the concept.

I have a piece this week in the online magazine Elevation DC. The upside: I got to know four of the most vibrant personalities on the DC culinary scene. Downside: I have a long list of restaurants I need to visit. Come to think of it, is that really so bad?

The 50th anniversary March on Washington that I plan to join on Saturday came together largely online. As I write this, buses and vans of participants are no doubt coming together all over the country through a frenzy of emails. Continue reading →

Publication: Do Good Summit surfing into town

The socially conscious pet food I buy at The Big Bad Woof in Takoma, D.C. is just the tip of an iceberg, and the organization Think Local First is plunging in to reveal more of a growing trend.  A Woof franchise was the first certified Benefit Corporation (AKA B Corp) in the country and both locations are part of a growing number of do-good businesses in the Washington area.
