​

Welcome to my living resource document of books, articles, podcasts, videos, and mentors that have helped me throughout my career as an educator, artist, and activist. The process of decolonizing for me has been cyclical: learning, unlearning, and remembering. One must continue to practice being a humble student. If you are someone that resonates with my work and journey, I'd like to remind you to be patient and kind to yourself. I see you and I love you.​ Last update: Friday, April 9th, 2021
