When I was writing, I wanted every word to be not only deliberate, but musical. Precious.

I am always hesitant to call myself an activist, mostly out of respect for the activists who are using their bodies and voices to protest or activists online who are constantly engaging and educating others.

I have always considered the aesthetic of a project, including press photos, as a means to further the message of the art itself.

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

I continue to explore poetry.

Children's books have great potential to reveal new possibilities to readers, because the intended audience is at an age of genuine learning.
