Now Offering 1:1 Meetings!

Brave Conversations Start Here

In addition to writing and speaking, I offer guided 1:1 conversations for people navigating identity, reinvention, grief, or major life shifts. If that resonates, reach out with questions, or schedule a meeting now!

Thoughtful guidance rooted in lived experience, not theory.

They want Pride to be pretty. Pastel. Palatable. Profitable. They want our rainbows to end firmly in the black. They want our glitter to forget it came from ash.
