She now produces Anarchapulco in Mexico and Liberpulco in Serbia, and partners with Liberland. She lives on Greenbriar, a consensus-based intentional community in Texas, where she homeschools her kids and teaches Game of Village. Her story starts as a Ron Paul delegate at the 2008 RNC, learning she was being handed chant cards like a movie extra.
