My story
I want to see social justice become a reality for us all. Like many others who have been part of organising, activism, and other forms of collective action, the drive for this comes from past experiences and from an intrinsic belief that change is not only possible, but imperative.
I've realised it is time to refuse to be quiet and less visible. I will elevate my voice, and amplify the voices and lived wisdom of others who may not otherwise have the opportunity, platform, safety, or readiness. It is time to allow myself to be seen and heard. It is my hope that what I put out in the world might be compelling enough to plant seeds for action or let someone know they're not alone.

I have “always wanted to be a writer” and like many others, I was told by society and well-intentioned individuals that it was a precarious career and a risky goal. I am and have been many things and I'm glad to have realised that I have always been a writer. This narrative about creative expression, storysharing, and worthiness is one I'm keen to refuse and defy. Please feel invited to join or follow me in the adventure of being a writer, artist, advocate, scholar-activist, and a multiplicity of other ways of being. I'm an eternal student in my own life and I aim to allow my voice to be present and available while supporting others to know that their voices and lives are valuable and valid.
I am committed to the messy, imperfect, and hard work of being a part of a brighter future for all.
