My father, Archibald T. Goodwin, is still with us on Earth, by the grace of God. He has passed through many trials, as an African American man, and an amputee from the age of 14, who married 3 white women in succession, and fathered 13 children. He grew up during the Civil Rights era, and during my childhood avoided any talk of racism, though the scars of it on him were plain to see. As an adult I learned to embrace all of my heritage, and felt inspired to help make the world a better place for all people.
I am a librarian who loves cooking, knitting, jewelry making, tango, and bellydance. As a woman, and a bi-racial African American I am interested in exploring and encouraging themes of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance and respect for differences in self-expression.
