Video Find of Day
We had an exercise in role reversal at Real Change a few years ago when we had local celebs change clothes with homeless vendors for posters and videos advertising the real change Homeless Empowerment project. here's a video, allegedly banned in South Africa, that carries out role reversal on a grand scale. Plus great background music.
PS I looked it up: Mzansi means South Africa. Ya Mampela was briefly a slogan of South African public TV channel SABC 1. It means Real Thing.

About Me
- Dr. Wes Browning
- I have a doctorate in Mathematics from Cornell. I am amused by this. My parents tried to kill me on my 1st birthday. Though I now can't speak it much, and though my parents never could, my first language was Hawaiian, not English. I partially credit an I'iwi for my survival. Hear one on the audio clip at my complete profile. I've been homeless a number of times, for a total of about 4 years. For some of that time I supported myself with the sale of paintings. One of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the premier issue of Real Change, see the links below. Since that first issue in 1994 I have become part of its volunteer editorial committee. I write a regular humor column for the paper, currently titled Adventures in Irony. I serve on the Real Change Board of Directors. I feed the Real Change cat Sid Vicious. Anitra Freeman and I are an item.
