Throughout life, I have struggled to know who I am in this world. I’ve always felt like an artist, but I’ve never given myself permission to be one. In the last four years, I have been on an internal quest to ask the unanswerable question, “who am I outside of the avatar I play in my life? Who am I outside of the identity that family, society, and culture have told me to be?” While on this quest, I have taken a deep dive into psychology, yoga, somatic therapy, politics, dance, singing, meditation, human design, the liberation of oppression, astrology, and tarot.

In the last couple of years, I have been diagnosed with PTSD, cPTSD, and ADHD, and have been dedicating the majority of my time to exploring what that means in the context of operating in a capitalist system, and how to go about creating a life for myself in which I can live and thrive. Part of that process has been normalizing talking about trauma as it’s part of our story.

My whole career has been a boop. I’ve consistently resented explaining my career as it’s always been a means to live - separate from my identity. In my forced participation in capitalism, I’ve meandered multiple careers, varying from journalism to strategic corporate work, and community organizing. Now, I am prioritizing my energy to create, regardless of what comes of it, and this website is an example of showing off some of the things I’m bringing into this world.
