Joie de VIVre: Writer, director, producer, amateur belly dancer (way-amateur, like, they don't even let me wear the really pretty skirts yet, because they know I'll fall down and rip them!). I've just been named the president of The Gondobay Manga Foundation, founded by Isaiah Washington for his efforts in the Bo Region of Sierra Leone, West Africa. I've worked with a number of nonprofits but have never been in on laying the first bricks. It is an exciting process ... with a mind-boggling amount of paperwork.
