I love to ask questions; to understand the "why behind the why". Curious. Open. A creative strategist that has been many things before and will probably be many things after, and during — find me in my off hours as a death doula.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
Everything I have learned, and continue to learn, that has true impact and depth comes from community. The system isn’t for most of us, and in deconstructing, rethinking, and building a society that actually cares for the people, diverse perspectives and backgrounds are essential to create understanding — on the “smallest” level to the biggest — so we can begin to make something that benefits us, on our terms. And to create that understanding, we first have to create space. In all realms, my priority is to create space for people to be seen and heard, and to not just be seen and heard, but to truly trust that they can and will be. Trust = community. Community = trust.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
Through food!
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I'm a problem solver. Personally and professionally, I like to get deep into things to discover how and where to nourish and put thought behind ideas to help grow, create and understand. Always down to talk: AI in the creative realm, untangling ourselves from conditioning, advocating for oneself, owning your power and worth, and the art of the perfect grilled cheese.
