I am a facilitator, organizer, and artist. I am also this list of (some, not all) relevant identities, in alphabetical order:

bagel-maker, Learner from plants, Midwesterner on the Coasts, parent, queer, sci-fi & poetry lover, white body.

Naming my relationship to and with lineage is necessary because justice work is collective and collaborative across time and place.

Here is an (inevitably) incomplete list of where I’m from, also in alphabetical order:

Angela Hunter-Knight, AORTA, Audre Lorde, Bayard Rustin, bell hooks, the beloved community of facilitators, Catalyst Project, the Center for Equity & Inclusion, Charisse Jackson, City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, Corita Kent, COALESCE, Dismantling Racism Works, EAI, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, James Baldwin, Mary Oliver, my kin, my kids, my lover, my parents, my sister, the National Conference for Community & Justice, Ocean Vuong, the People’s Institute for Survival & Beyond, Ruth King, the Sexual & Gender Minority Youth Resource Center, Sherman Fleming, Somatic Scribing, Students Organizing for Labor & Economic Equality, teenagers, Timothy Eatman, University of Michigan, Urban Bush Women Summer Leadership Institute, Ursula K. LeGuin, Washington University in St. Louis.

I’m happy to share more in a conversation about who I am, where I’m from, and how that shapes my work and approach.
