I'm a writer, curator and community connector. My passion for community storytelling combined with an asset-based community development approach led me to co-create projects like Face A Face (FAF Collective), Hoy Polloy Art Gallery, WooGrl Fest, and more. My work is featured in AFROPUNK, Sixty Inches from Center, Indianapolis Contemporary, Indy Arts Council and WFYI.
When I'm not working I love to care for my plants, journal, obsess over vinyl and music samples and hang out with my amazing kid.
My role at Mirror Indy seems like it was written just for me. It's a dream come true to help create a news organization that focuses on community needs.
