wANT TO WORK TOGETHER?
I’ve worked extensively with entrepreneurs, events, businesses, and social justice movements and organizations, and they have one thing in common— our values align.
Please read my values statement before you decide to work with me. If you are disinterested in challenging oppressions in the world, your business structures, and within yourself, I’m not a good fit for your project.
VALUES STATEMENT
We meet the world with bravery and curiosity. Gender is a construct, and we play with and explore gender with delight. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism exist. Sex work is real work. Polyamory is a valid relationship structure. There is no “cure” for being autistic. Accessibility is more than a wheelchair ramp—it’s a design principle. End genocide and imperialism. Mutual aid, DIY, and community are powerful. Be kind.
