Welcome To My Website!

 

Before I begin ze ‘personal introduction turns sentimental’ time, it’s deeply important that I acknowledge my identity and the immense amount of privilege that I have experienced (despite certain challenges) that has made my creation of this website (and even the ability to create) possible.

​

Representation and Responsibility. 

(Trigger warning in the following statements, shared with such an immense amount of love.)

​

Insert the first quote of many that will be referenced:

“Above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck - and with luck comes obligation. You owe a debt, and not just to your Gods. You owe a debt to the unlucky.” - Michael Lewis

​

I am a neurodivergent, cisgender, queer, child-molestation survivor, and able-bodied white woman with a lower-middle-class upbringing.

​

If you would like to chat about anything I just shared, please know that I would love to and firmly believe that discussing our (either shared or differing) human experiences is an extremely powerful act of love and resistance.

 

Without further ado, please welcome to the rest of my personal self-introduction:

 

I spent a lot of time considering all that I wanted this virtual space to be/represent, Creating and Designing it similar to how I like to curate the spaces I frequent.

I hope you feel seen, comfortable, safe, and inspired while you're here.

[Apologies in Advance for an Untraditionally-Lengthy 'About' Page. I've Got A Lot to Say.]
 

Summarizing one's existence & life experience is quite a silly task - Don't ya think?

​

However, Here's my "Adult-Meaux-Participating-in-Society" Spiel:​

​​

Sound Chose Me Before I Chose It.

​

As Someone Who Deeply Believes that Vulnerability Creates Space for Vulnerability - Please Allow Me to Start from the Beginning.

​

I Entered this Earth [in Lafayette, Louisiana - OW OWW!] as a Child Born with Underdeveloped Ear Canals, an Experience I have now Grown to be Immensely Grateful for.

​

At Five Years Old [Located in the Sweet Southern Soul of Middle Georgia], the ENT Specialists & Care Team Described the Perception of Sound I Experienced to my Family as Severely Muffled, Distant, and Significantly Reduced in Volume, much like Listening to the World Underwater.

​

Speech and Language Delays did Develop as a Result, [Thank-you Corrective Surgery/Speech Therapy!], but so did

My Sonic Superpower:

​

Understanding the Power Sound Holds to Evoke Emotion.

To Communicate.

To Create and Change Realities.

​

Sound Transcends Language.

Sound is a Language of it's Own.

​

The 'Disguised' Disability Gift I Was Born With Allowed Me To Internalize This.

The Importance of Actively Listening to Humans, Sounds, and Music.

​

Add Expressive Dancers, Musicians, Artists, & Proud-Immigrant-Elder Spirits to the Mix,

- - -

VOILA!

​

You've got an Observant, Goofy, Curious, Optimistic, Ambitious, and Grateful Old-Soul of a Young Woman who LOUGHVES Creative Expression and Connection of all kinds.

The Rest of My Website Showcases the Many Passions, Creations, & Lessons that I've Alchemized Through This Life's Journey & Work Thus Far.

I Truly Hope The Time You Spend "Surfing the Web" Here Feels Nourishing.
