land steward | yoga practitioner | herbalist | urban homesteader | ancestral cook
Ever since I can remember I have felt a deep sense of responsibility. I care deeply about my community, the land and our collective liberation.
I am committed to living with not over the land, centering wholeness and radical love. In my life I have been blessed to do profoundly meaningful, heart-centered, purpose-driven work. I have learned about the rhythms of nature and cycles of life and I believe all of life's waves are here to guide us.

F U N * F A C T S:
I'm a big-time Trekkie! If I could be any species in Star Trek I would be a Qowat Milat; a Romulan warrior nun race who live by the philosophy of "Absolute Candor". I love to sing my heart out in the shower and/or car; my musical interests range from ratchet femme rappers to grunge, 70s soft rock hits to old school reggae, trip-hop to contemporary afro-beats. When I dance I feel pure freedom. Talking boundaries and sharing dreams for collective liberation is my jam! I have eleven tattoos, 4 piercings, 8 chickens, 1 elderly Shiba Inu and the dopest Teenager.
Aries, Sun. Gemini, Moon. Libra, Ascendant/Rising.
