Tera "Nova Jade" Greene is an award-winning DJ and film producer, as well as a published writer and poet.  She has helped to organize 3-day women's workshop festivals and recently spoke on a panel about "Feminism" in today's society at UCLA.  Though growing up she lacked women role models, even a mother's presence in the home, she feels it is important to empower women to stand firmly in their identities and create their own HerStory.
