About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Fun & Justice... Dance, Dance, REVOLUTION!
ABOUT ME
I have been told I'm charismatic and easy to talk to. Fun is on the agenda, as is: (queer) dance parties, public performance, motorcycles, eating well, extended bike trips (non-motorized and motorized), laughing really hard, politics on the queerer more radical end of the spectrum, basically making good things happen.
PHILOSOPHY
Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. - Langston Hughes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Let's meet in person and exchange stories!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach how to ride a motorcycle, how to embroider (very basic), funny expressions in English, and I love talking about esoteric things... I'm also always excited to discuss political struggles in the United States especially as they relate to race, class, gender, and sexuality.
