My journey of self-witnessing through writing began during a turbulent childhood.

As a survivor of child abuse and incest, I quickly realized the paramount importance of prioritizing my mental health and self-care for my physical survival. Through my roles as a writer and a theatre artist, I have personally experienced the profound healing powers of the page and the stage.

What drives me to do this work is the same force that initially motivated me - the hunger for change. I transformed my life in order to find the will to live. As I eased into the process of alchemy and transformation, I began to observe the rage and self-loathing shift into neutrality, and then a deep love and appreciation for life.

I am able to embody this renewed awareness with a discipline of self-care, creative praxis and the generosity of space for self-expression.

<aside> ⭕ Don’t think I did all this to get famous. I never cared for the good things of life. I always ate sensibly. I knew hunger well, and sorrow, and God.
