In 2018 I graduated High School and applied to SCAD for the 2-D Animation Bachelor’s program. I had an honor roll GPA, a decent portfolio and, most importantly, an incredible amount of faith in God’s ability to get me a full ride. I definitely wasn’t going to be able to swing the $50k yearly tuition myself. I got accepted, and a sizeable collection of scholarships to help! My scholarships totaled $22,000 for each year… but it wasn’t enough for a lower-middle-class girl with no college fund to work with. I decided to say “no” to my dream rather than accumulate an insurmountable level of debt. My confidence in my identity as an artist was shattered… and so was my faith.

Today I make continue to make art in many forms. I speak my truth as a way to rebel against the United States Empire and fight Christian Nationalism. I call myself “spiritual” and practice ancestral magick where I honor and work with my matriarchy.

If my life has taught me anything, it’s that beliefs are not facts; the only universal truth is love. I am passionate about community organization, animated movies, and deconstructing my oppressive religious. upbringing. From conservative Christian to radical leftist, my journey has been tumultuous and turbulent — but I wouldn’t be the person I am without it!

My favorite hobbies and interests include catering to every whim and wish of my rabbit Tofu, reading, writing (fiction and poetry), tarot and astrology, making niche playlists, and repeatedly consuming Lord of the Rings, the Muppets, Game of Thrones, the Pitt, and more. I’m vehemently anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine. As a bisexual woman, exercising my rights and advocating for those who don’t have them is a foundational pillar of my ethos. If you’re pro-Trump, pro-ICE, or pro-birth … what are you still doing here? Shoo, go on, git! Did I mention that I love cyberbullying racists?
