I’m very grateful for all the teachers I’ve had and all the incredible resources I’ve learned from. This is a attempt to track some of the things that have made me me.

i was radicalized/politically activated when I was in undergrad during the Ferguson Uprising in 2014 by many organizers there and on campus, especially Sarah Carthen Watson and the Native and Indigenous Student Alliance

I tried to understand how change happens through working with the Sustained Dialogue program, eventually getting trained in equity-informed mediation with Resolutions Northwest

I was lucky enough to participate in song circles led by Wendi Moore O’Neal where I learned about the connective and liberatory power of song

I began to share my own songs and art with members of song trust and my first art therapist

I learned a lot about organizing by working with Jewish Voice for Peace and Eye on Surveillance in New Orleans and all the other individuals and organizations trying to make a better world.

I learned how to ground myself by working with Generative Somatics teachers and my practice group: Anna, Linda, Mel and Libby

I learned how to be present in community with my dear friends
