“Tolerating discrimination of any kind— including but not limited to ableism, ageism, racism, sexism, & sexualism—should not be the norm. When we listen, educate, collaborate, & share stories collectively, a kinder, more respectful, more empathetic world does not feel as out of reach. This is what drives what I create.”

“We’re focused on reducing inequalities in accordance with UN Global Goal #10, taking each other off pedestals through open dialogue, and embracing our inelegancies well enough to become serious change agents during our time here. If nothing else, it’s to serve as a reminder to anyone—you are never alone.”
