Where I live, there are a LOT of businesses owned by Ethiopians and Eritreans. They're the NEW immigrants, the new Greeks - what my people did. The next GENERATION of these people will probably be college graduates. That's how it works, right there in FRONT of your EYES.

I think AUSTRALIA focuses on PEOPLE that had a big start at home, like 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours' graduates, and the truth is those shows are pretty white for the most part. The diverse actors go STRAIGHT to the States because that is where more diverse stories and opportunities are being PRESENTED.

I want to be ABLE to pick up a list of names of graduates from high SCHOOLS and COLLEGES in the CITY and to see that that list is longer than it was when I STARTED in 2009.

'Crimson' is WRITTEN in a very PARTICULAR style, and it's very precise in the WAY it graduates into a gothic romance. The souls that will CONNECT with it will connect DEEPLY.

My HUSBAND and I are both PROUD PUBLIC SCHOOL graduates.

Too MANY high-school graduates are reflexively going to college as it is, WITHOUT a clue what they are doing there or how to take advantage of higher EDUCATION.
