We Are All Sluts
I hate people who hate, and I hate negative words. Avoiding the use of negative words actually gives them power. Rather, I’m a fan of taking away their power by changing how the word is used. SlutsUnite.org is an initiative by Sir Richard’s Condoms, a socially conscious condom company based in Los Angeles. I recently [...]
We Are Connected, We Are Gods
Two inspiring and interesting videos popular amongst my friends on Facebook.

Having started my post-college life in the web-based tech start-up scene of Santa Monica, I’m intrigued to find myself amidst a whole new breed of entrepreneurs: Social Entrepreneurs. The terminology around these concepts are [...]
Why You Should Follow Your Heart, Not Your Brain
Following your heart is the smart thing to do. Because when people tell you to follow your heart, what they’re really telling you to do is to allow your subconscious to make decisions for you. Your subconscious is the part of the brain that’s not your frontal lobe, considered responsible for self-control, planning, and reasoning. [...]
