Kellia is a freelance journalist in Oakland, CA who left the Pacifica Radio Network in July, 2010 after 11+ years in the KPFA news department and over 10 years with Free Speech Radio News. She is now in the odd position of needing a paid job while advocating the abolition of monetary systems. Kellia has an ongoing book and documentary project called The End Of Money: A critique of paying, owing and working "for a living" which asks the question: "Why must we pay to live on the planet we're born on?" Many of the articles she posts are about economics and are, in a way, the first draft of the book.
