Kim Righter

Kim Righter is a musician, writer and a meditation facilitator. She first fell in love with punk and hardcore when she was in middle school. When she moved to the Washington, D.C. area, she became a member of Positive Force DC. Motivated by her concern for human rights, she has received her Master of Arts degree in International Affairs from the Elliott School at The George Washington University with a specialization in the post-Soviet region. She at one time was professionally proficient in Russian and Ukrainian, but readily admits now that she needs practice. Wanting to do more to promote international human rights, she went to law school. After earning her juris doctor degree from American University, though, she has focused locally in her legal career. She primarily serves the indigent community of the DC metro area of Maryland. She remains vegan and straight edge. She sometimes provides vegan baked goods for small events and celebrations.
