In major cities worldwide, a small semi-truck drives into the town center. Its sides are clear, made of a stable glass-like substance. What's more surprising isn't the trailer's walls; its the contents: nasty, muddy, unclean water.



On top of the truck rides a team of volunteers, armed with loudspeakers. They remain silent as the truck pulls to the center of the plaza and parks. Crowds begin to gather. News crews are summoned, as reports of similar trucks world wide are… Continue

I was stumped for hours on finding my "hero" to shadow. I went through the lists recommended by the mission, read through sites, but I just wasn't finding the spark. I wanted to find someone I could relate to in the social change I want to make - and I wasn't finding anyone.

As a paid writer, I've taken off in the video games field. Freelance writing about video games is my day job - upward to 60 hours a week, getting paid for reviewing games, doing guides, and posting news. It's a fun job, and I do enjoy it - but it's not what I want to spend my life writing about.



I've already mentioned my goal, my personal passion and project and part of what brought me to Evoke - advocacy for those with "alternative" sexual preferences and genders. This is "the big… Continue

When my goal hit me - when I just "knew" what I wanted to do,… Continue
