I am
- Passionate about living authentically, creatively, and with compassion.
- Grounded in Christian spirituality, I enjoy constructive dialogue with people of diverse perspectives.
- The founder and executive director of Healing Streams. Healing Streams responds to high needs and postwar environments by providing holistic, culturally-appropriate leadership and counsellor training in partnership with local organizations.
More facts:
- Ross is my favorite person in the whole world. We have supported each other through the ups and downs of life and each of us thinks we’re the lucky one! We’ve been married over 25 years and have two awesome adult sons.
- I love to quilt (but have no time for it), walk/run outdoors, read, travel!
- I’m doing doctoral research. My thesis topic is Recovery from Cumulative War-Trauma: The Congolese Refugee Experience.

This is James in Ghana. Healing Streams is fighting an enemy of peace on earth. We need you to assist these victims of all untold abuses of war.

Just passing by, but noticed your doctoral research subject. You might want to look at the Ph.D. dissertation of my cousin, Dr. Jeannie Annan, completed a couple of years ago at Indiana University, on war trauma suffered by children in Uganda and southern Sudan (if I have that right). If you find it helpful, I would be glad to connect you with Jeannie, who just left Yale for a research position in NYC….
