Cecy loved being on her high school stage crew, blasting Nina Simone after setting up for shows, alone in that huge auditorium. She digs Lewis Nordan, Clint Eastwood, Frida Kahlo, and men who can fix things.
In 2006 she joined the Peace Corps where she served as a teacher in a Namibian village for two years. She loves hitchhiking and is thankful for every person who ever gave her a ride, bus or plane ticket, meal or place to sleep; they carried her across Africa and she carries them in her heart and in her stories.
She was an editor on IZIT? – A Magazine for the Namibian PCV. Her work has been published in Gallery 37’s anthologies Alchemy and Paper Atrium. She’s got a building named after her in Namibia. She currently volunteers at the University of Chicago Hospitals.
