I'm a Jersey girl who has lived in Atlanta, the DC metro area, France, and Brazil. I'm moving to Philly in September.

I smile + laugh a lot. Most of the time, I have a fro. I love the outdoors. I like to spend time in libraries and bookstores. I'm a great listener, but I'll talk all day about my passion for youth development, feminism, queer theory, racial justice, and radical love and community.

PHILOSOPHY

"my optimism wears heavy boots and is loud."

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

i really love to cook-i can teach you how to make really good vegan food! my favorites are anything related to vegan brunch. also, learning how to vegan bake is my new favorite hobby.

i've tried to pick up knitting roughly about 50 times, so i'm interested in re-learning again,

also, i'd love to learn how to play the ukulele.

and sharing ideas on how to break interlocking systems of oppression while learning how to spread radical love :)
