"Being part of making positive change in the world is what makes me feel alive, so I fell into Positive News quite naturally after meeting Ilonka several years ago. I get around by bicycle and work at various schools around the county, so I started distributing the paper wherever I rode, and leaving them in school staff rooms, open to the 'Youth' page. I also write articles from time to time, my favorite topic being gender equality and peace-building.  More recently, I have started working on subscription management, and the online database.  Working with Positive News is some of the most meaningful work I do in my life, as media has the ability to help shape reality!"

Heather comes from Jamaica.

Many years ago during an anti war protest, I realized that I was not helping the situation by projecting my anger and despair out into the world. I decided to put my energy into creating the world I want to live in, rather than protesting the world I don't like. Positive News is an example of this. It is an honor to be able to help out this beautiful project. I currently live in Kauai where I am am involved in co-creating sustainable community through cultivating organic vegetables, Tulsi tea and plant medicines.
