What matters
to me the most
My Mission
Love is power and purpose. It is the energy and the reason.
I see my work as a reminder of the inherent worthiness of all humans, an invitation to practice love for self and others, and a series of lessons in liberation. Recognizing the privilege of my position in academia, I don't want my best work locked behind academic paywalls, so I do the double work of sharing as much as I can publicly.
