A few things…
I am a mother of daughters.
I believe art is like water - necessary and able to pass through some of the stiffest of spaces.
I am the author of “The Way We Hold On” (Pottersfield Press 2018) and Ode to the Unpraised (Pottersfield Press, 2020).
Writing, dance, and spoken word are my vehicles and my delights. You may experience a blend of all three in my Storytelling Studio workshops.
The H.E.R. Story Writer-in-Residence (YWCA Halifax and Atlantic Publishers Marketing Association (APMA) was an incredible opportunity to write about life with some humble and talented women.
I am learning to sew, swim, and grow food.
I believe honest stories build bridges and break walls.
