“My larger creative project as an artist & life novice centers around a desire to cultivate new vocabularies for

living/thinking/writing/performing blackness, destabilize hegemonic conceptions of beauty and strength, and, as

much as is possible within the constraints of linear time, have mad fun writing poems and teaching workshops and

gossiping with my friends. I am committed to the love and care of friends. I am committed to expansive notions

of kin that transcend species. Put (just a little bit) differently, I am committed to the flourishing of life, to

the joy of the plant and understanding the human world, and the collective empowerment of marginalized persons everywhere. Word is bond. Love is my symbol.
