A person with passion + rage and lament - a person with many curiosities.

This is a place for freaks + geeks. It’s a space for poets, storytellers, activists, artists, healers, mystical, doubters, skeptics + rebels + wanderers + witches - and anyone simply seeking to carve out a new space for themselves. Together, we will sit at a new table + dare to ask all the questions that we’ve been told not to ask. And we will create new stories that center imagination + promote radical care & true liberation for all. So, join me as we rise together in dignity and hopefully meet with the divine.
