Présentation
À propos de moi
I'm 23, from Northern VA/DC. I have a BA in English (went to school in Iowa!! can you guess which one?) I swam in college, and also started a creative writing club and a magazine. I do a lot of activism, mostly for disability and mental health rights, but also for LGBT+ and racial justice.
My disability is an invisible illness; I look and act "normal". 😜 It causes chronic joint pain and fatigue, so if I walk funny up your steps, that's why lol. I'm not shy about it so if you have a question, ask! Along this line, I also have a sensitive stomach... some days things like pizza and raw veggies are fine, others it's pasta w salt, baby. I can normally manage/modify any meal since I'm used to it and this shouldn't stop you from hosting me!
Things I do for fun:
Live music, comedy (yes, even improv), bars, walking around, shopping, more walks, Netflix

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
I've answered the phone for a mental health hotline . I'm a great listener (I've gotten all the active listening training) and know what to do in a mental health crisis.
