​​​​​​I’m a Chicana storyteller, a lovingly partnered performer, and later-in-life queer. I write from the body—fat, disabled, and in eating disorder recovery. My stories live at the intersections of identity, advocacy, and imagination.  ​​ ​​I’ve been a legal aid lawyer, a veterans advocate, a policy advisor and government affairs director, a case worker caring for unaccompanied undocumented children, a solo performer, and a witness to so many lives shaped by systems and survival. ​​I believe joy is a form of resistance. I believe in storytelling as sacred practice. And I believe our voices—especially those too often silenced—belong in the center.  ​​​​​If you believe that justice and joy walk side by side, you’re already part of this story. ​​​​Looking to collaborate?
