My interview with Giorgena - In 2021

Sharing my responses from my interview with Giorgena after getting selected as a Spellibrity in the Humanitarian category as part of SpellX 2021.

Q1. You were nominated and selected as a spellebrity in the category of  Humanitarian.  What are the qualities that make YOU a good Humanitarian? 

My response - Look naturally at people positively. Taking no hurtful actions, specially would be careful around people weak and vulnerable. Being loving and kind. Taking your thoughts to how you can help everybody. You think good with bad people. Years together doing work that helps perfect the sad lives. Typing to talk about my world so people understand more about autism. The thought others perhaps need light to keep going too. Over

Q2. I remember your SpellX presentation well. In reviewing my notes, I see not only that you are a lover of music and poetry, but you carry lyricism and poetry into some of your own writing. Tell me what these art forms do for you.

My response - Music induces inner calm, anticipates my lost state and moves me into better phases. Count on music in being able to not become generally looking non functional. Road that inner listener travels through music and poetry leaves my totally blank mind blown. Over

Q3. Thanks to the advocacy of nonspeakers like you, doors that were once shut are opening. With this in mind, what are your plans for the future?

My response - I entertain the hope of studying math because it is a simple soulful vortex of more happiness.

Opened doors, to remain so, more has to be done keeping in mind our going forward. In my little way be more closely involved in speaking for my community of non speaking autistics. over

My First Podcast in-person Interview for Newsreel Asia

My first podcast interview

Interview I did for Newsreel Asia 

Where the mind is without fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
