I have been and continue to be committed to art as a tool to ignite, comfort, and discomfort.

When I wouldn't leave home without my blue contacts or when I was bleaching my hair, I didn't have the language to articulate that I was trying to assimilate to whiteness. If anything, I was trying to "look normal."

My art career often feels less like an art career and more like a career in educating, usually by using my body.

I think white artists have a responsibility to be not only naming white supremacy, but to be using their power and privilege to support artists of color.

I couldn't write about love without writing about hate - specifically, how the experience of hatred embeds itself in the body and prevents love from entering or leaving.
