• I strongly believe that economic deprivation is the cause of most social ills and issues in our urban neighborhoods.

• I am convinced that creative use of our advanced technologies can lead us to new “Wealth Generation” and “Wealth Distribution” models.

• I am consumed with this notion and believe that by strengthening our local economies, small businesses and free-lancers, we can tap into “yet unseen” new markets and wealth. I have designed simple solutions towards development of this process.

I am driven by necessity…

Six million people start a new business with a calculator in their hand and a dream in their heart, each and every year in the United States. Eighty percent of them fail within the first 3 years. Thousands of others want to start their own ventures too; but they don’t. It’s too scary, too risky, too hard…and life goes on.

The first phase of this project focuses on making it all easier by bringing the “platform”, the “process” and the “products” together all at the same time; with individual’s pace and place in mind. All the technological resources are available to make this happen NOW.

I will be writing much more about the urgency and necessity of this project in my blog. Please stay tuned for more or feel free to contact me for more information.

“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Confucius (551-479 B.C.E)

It’s a fact of life. We practically come alive when we do what we love. However, few of us have the luxury of pursuing and sustaining such a desired life style.

Now more than ever in the history of mankind, we are capable of conceiving and building bottom-up, socioeconomic infrastructures conducive to self-empowerment, maximizing individuals’ potential and contribution. An unprecedented window of opportunity stands before us.

I am here to do my part.

I am fifty one and going on.

I feel very privileged to be around and fifty one now. Old enough to have seen what life was before the Web and aware enough to participate in what it could become. I am a Mom and a Canadian citizen of Persian origin. During my first half a century, I spent a lot of time watching, learning, failing, struggling, winning, wondering and trying over and over again. Then I fell in love with the magic of the Web and everywhere I turned I saw possibilities. I somehow believe that I will be working very hard during my second half a century to turn some of those incredible possibilities into realities.

This is my first year of my second half a century. Stay tuned.
