Artist's Bio

I write because writing has helped me heal from wounds I didn’t know I had. Writing is the river of emotions rushing through me seeking an ocean to dump into. I write because other people’s writing had helped me see myself and recognize my potential. I write because there are forces bigger than me that necessitate it; voices that speak to me and want to speak through me.

I write because I love to write. I write because I love to read. I write to connect with others. I write because writing allows me to be vulnerable in ways I had unlearned. I write because writing is the key to releasing lodged trauma. I write because it opens my imagination and helps me better understand that another world is possible. Helps me understand what new ways of relating and loving and sacrificing are possible. My work is revolutionary because it dreams.
