Have Fun - Do Good

AUGUST 6, 2008

Last week I announced a new weekly feature that I'm trying out on Have Fun * Do Good, Ask Britt , where you send in questions related to career design for artists and activists, and I'll do my best to answer them.

Jennifer is a certified coach, artist and yogini based in Oakland, California. Sometimes there are other players that are in action in your head, or in your mind. They have some focus, they have an end goal in mind, and they are still getting a paycheck. They can make it as fun and enjoyable as they want.

The arts are a wonderful way to make a difference in the world because they are fun, engaging, and oftentimes help you to tell stories, all key elements to attracting and keeping people involved in a cause. Our mission is to strengthen the voice of activist artists - 'Artivists' - while raising public awareness for social global causes."
