Ancestral Connection & Creative Facilitation I guide individuals and groups toward relationships with their ancestors through writing workshops, visual storytelling, and multimedia creative practice. My facilitation holds sustained containers—spaces that unfold over weeks and months—where participants can deepen into ancestral work, embodied memory, and collective grief without rushing toward resolution. I see each person's unique path to their ancestors and build real relationships with participants over time.

Death Doula Services & Death Literacy Education As a certified death doula trained through Deathwives and Wake, I companion people through dying, guide families in death planning, and hold space for community conversations about mortality, grief, and threshold experiences. I bring a liberatory, anti-oppression framework to death care, recognizing the needs of Black, Fat, queer, trans, and disabled folks whose dying is often not honored by mainstream systems. When families need clear direction in crisis moments, I can name what needs to happen while remembering that each person's death is as unique as their life.

Literary Justice & Collection Curation I curate collections and design programs that recognize marginalized voices and treat literary access as justice work. My approach is informed by PhD-level scholarship on Black femmes, cultural memory, and visual culture, combined with grassroots organizing principles. I see which books serve which communities, how genre diversity matters, and how collections can hold resistance and survival—not just representation. I'm constantly gathering information—tracking which authors are emerging, what stories communities are hungry for, how historical contexts shape what we need now.

Archival Practice as Sacred Work I witness and archive through film, book arts, and visual media—documenting what bodies remember, what land holds, and what communities carry. My archival methodology recognizes preservation as altar-making: understanding that how we hold stories matters as much as which stories we hold. I work with BIPOC, queer/trans communities whose histories are routinely erased, creating visual and material archives that honor ephemeral knowledge and embodied wisdom.

Care Work & Beauty as Practice I design and guide community programs including author talks, creative retreats, workshops, and multi-week series. My work recognizes care and beauty as strategies for survival and liberation—understanding that tending to aesthetics and practicing collective care are foundational to our ability to keep going. I hold programs that center accessibility for Fat, disabled, neurodivergent, and queer/trans folks, designed from lived experience. I can find the words to name what's happening in a room, to articulate what people are feeling but can't yet say.

Sustained Containers Over Single Events I recognize that real transformation requires time. I design programs that unfold over weeks and months, allowing participants to deepen, build trust, and practice together. I'm always learning from what emerges in these containers—each cohort teaches me something new.

Accessibility-Centered Design I hold programs for bodies and minds that don't fit institutional norms. This means recognizing multiple processing styles, offering various ways to engage, and understanding that access needs are both physical and cultural.

Community-Informed Practice I don't assume I know what communities need. I ask, I listen, I build relationships before building programs. I recognize that marginalized communities are the experts on their own liberation.

Holding Grief as Sacred I don't rush people through grief or try to "fix" sadness. I recognize that collective grief work is essential to liberation movements, and that creating space to feel fully is a radical act in a culture that demands our labor.

I am called to work with:

• BIPOC folks and organizations seeking culturally grounded programming

• Queer/trans communities building autonomous care systems

• Artists and cultural workers exploring ancestral connection and embodied practice

• Libraries, museums, and cultural institutions committed to justice beyond performative diversity

• Organizers and movement spaces needing facilitation that holds complexity and grief

• Individuals seeking death doula guidance or ancestral connection support

• Communities creating their own archives outside institutional frameworks
