Location
Boston, MAI am a writer,trainer/facilitator and arts and marketing consultant who lives in Boston. I have designed and facilitated workshops on a wide variety of topics, including communication, team building, and parenting issues (through Parent-411.com).
I was director of the cultural economic development program, ACT Roxbury, where I founded the Roxbury Film Festival, Roxbury Literary Annual, Roxbury Open Studios and Roxbury Discussion Series.
I've had essays, short stories, children’s stories, and poetry published in several publications. I am an active blogger who writes about relationships, family, current issues, race and sex in witty, entertaining, poignant and powerful entries on my personal blog (blog.candelarisilva.com). I am also a contributing editor to BlogHer.com and to Parent-411.com.
I am an avid volunteer, serving on a number of boards and spreading the joy of reading to young children through my random booking project (myrandombooking.net)
