There is this old way of thinking that if you identify as something, then it means that you look, act, and behave in a certain way. It’s this thinking that has kept me trapped in an uncomfortable liminal space, the one between rejecting my spirituality and gifts and accepting them to let them flourish.

I value both truth and privacy, and I think that we all have our own truths and perceptions from our shared lived experiences.

Thank you for being here. I’m honored to grow alongside you.
