About John Oliver Mason

I am a freelance writer, having worked for newspapers, magazines and blogs for over twenty-five years, covering neighborhood and working people making their communities and their lives better. I believe in the power of the written word to bring about change, and I put that into practice. I believe that when we become aware of the effect our small actions in the community have in improving lives, we can truly make a difference. I am also one of the leading poets in the Philadelphia area, and I also write fiction. I also act, performing on the public access channel PhillyCAM.

I speak on social and political issues, calling them as I see them. I speak about the like and work of Dr. King, resisting the sanitized image of him, and the ongoing work of freedom-fighting.

What makes a good leader?

Humility helps, knowing that you don’t know everything, and delegating jobs to people who know about it.
