AVATAR THE WAY OF WATER

FEELING BLUE Karin vonKrenner It’s been 13 years since the first Avatar movie blew our minds with its stunning animation quality. Additionally, the hard-hitting message on the cultural and environmental destruction affecting the Amazon forests and peoples. We left the cinema standing on the precipice of a future vision with an embryonic spark of new social awareness. We spent years avidly grumbling for a second movie. We wanted something. Yet un-nameable. Unlike Jason Bourne, this movie begged for a sequel. Avatar hit us where it hurt, in our global conscience. It was a call to action. We wanted more. As it began fading into Hollywood memories, a rumour of an Avatar II bubbled across the internet. Yes, it was the Second Coming. We joined communal couches to celebrate with Avatar…

At the start of spring, I am always looking for places that I want to get away to. When I travel, I want to explore different and unique places that pique my curiosity.

When a particular place catches my eye, I start with looking at the hotels and resorts. What are their health standards on cleanliness? Do they have a gym or walking paths? What type of food is available? Because when I travel, I want to make sure where I lay my head at night is going to be a restful night’s sleep with plenty of…

EXPANSION OF CHOICES... STRENGTHENING OF VOICES” INDIA

“EXPANSION OF CHOICES... STRENGTHENING OF VOICES” These articles are part of Intercultural dialogues, to celebrate, leverage and chronicle diverse stories, narratives, voices, and cultural identity of inspirational Indian women achievers.

Sitting On The Fence

“Born into a family that is represented Native American, Black and Italian heritage, is a perspective of history that seems unfathomable”. As a child, I had a recurring dream that if the nation was segregated, where would I go? This may sound like an odd thought for a child but from my multi-racial view, it made all the sense in the world. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended segregation in public places and banned discrimination based on the basis of diverse categories such as race, sex, ethnicity, religion or national origin. A monumental legislative lift for Civil Rights yet not realized even today to acknowledge equality for all. I was born in 1965 when President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawing discriminatory voting practices that were…
