Mike Spara
Mike Spara is an actor, writer, and music-maker based in Brooklyn, New York. Before that was New Orleans, Peru, China, DC, Maryland, Brussels, Kansas, and, yes, upstate New York. He’s had as many careers as degrees (three and counting). There’ll probably be a fourth or fifth in there somewhere eventually. www.mikespara.com & @heymikespara

**Still missing heavy hitters like zinc, copper, iodine, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, and that ever-elusive cobalt. (Not to mention intersectional systemic justice only available through dismantling white body supremacy.)
