I have been on a steep learning curve since 2015 unpacking my whiteness, learning more about the intentional oppression in the US and worldwide, and then being involved in lasting change within the systems I can affect. I come from a deep place of privilege which always informs how I move, and I work hard to continuously re-examine the lens I am seeing the world through; listening and learning from folks in marginalized communities to ensure I do the least amount of harm possible.

I am proud to co-produce a podcast titled Why Do I Give a F&$K! with friend and colleague JoHanna "J" Thompson.
