| Introduction | I believe we are here to create. Each creature and living being on this Earth was given the power to create. I believe we can create to put more light into this Universe when we feel seen, like we matter, and are part of a community. It is my intention in writing and sharing my work to add to this Universe's light. I strive to practice Radical Love which I believe are loving actions for cultivating compassion and love for myself and others. In my activism, I hold the intention to center those oppressed and marginalized by dominant unjust systems insisting on a single narrative. It is my deepest wish to leave this Earth a better place than I found it for I am the luckiest to be who I am, to have experienced what I have, and to be loved by and love deeply the most amazing of friends and family that I have the privilege to call my village. We are each other's keepers. |
