I am a lyrical jazz poet who identifies as a woman of paradox, a voice of the unheard whispers, and a goddess amongst men. My writing is vulnerable, provokative, vulgar, unapologetic and mildly sarcastic...

I love exploring themes of identity, society, loss, and the nature that reflects around me. Using art to relate, uplift, and amplify unwritten voices, especially of women, affected by trauma, abuse, and injustice, is my core sense of responsibility. I believe in the power of creative freedom to drive awareness, empower sensitively, and spark generational change.
