I feel like I have had to catch up to the art I've made, and learn from the protagonists I have written, especially in relation to gender.

I always work with text orally in the writing process, saying passages aloud to measure flow.

In my thirties, I have felt a greater urgency to make art that highlights what it feels like to be racialized, likely due to living in a country that obscures our racism with the idea of "multiculturalism."

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

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.

I have dedicated a significant portion of my time and artistry to making art that addresses various forms of oppression, including white supremacy, misogyny, and biphobia.

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