Step into the world

of a woman seeking to grow

everything she touches.

You never know,

you may find yourself

as a flower child, too!

I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.
— Audre Lorde

I’d track each

missing body 

of my family:

the living,

the dead, 

& the bastards lucky

enough to never learn 

of the thickness of our blood.

the drowning 

that waits

to claim us.

-Jassmine Parks

excerpt from “aquarium: a black family drowns & comes up for air.”

I believe

that storytelling is a transformative call to action,be it to:

  • reflect

  • imagine new worlds

  • strengthen voice

  • heal

    The work that I attach myself to is that which is creating universes where people are visible, held tenderly, extended grace and affirmed.

feel. deal. heal. reveal.
