When I pictured my career path in college and especially during my days at IBM, it didn't include many of the things I've become: mother, volunteer, teacher and writer. Over the last year another unlikely role has become part of me; I have become an activist.
It provides the same level of income my family has come to expect and my recent experiences have prepared me for:There are some jobs people do just for the money. Then there are jobs people do purely for love. Being an activist is one of the latter. - Career Cruising
and of course, there's always the job security:In the end, the activist’s job is done if more people become aware of the activist’s cause. There are always more people to convince, so the job is never done. - Career Cruising
My cause is affordable housing and my activity is part of the non-profit, faith-based, grass-roots organization called IMPACT.
I hope you'll be able to join the activity on March 15 at the Nehemiah Action Assembly where we'll be using our strength in numbers to encourage public officials to address the large gap in affordable housing for the lowest income households, 0-30% AMI (average median income). |
