When the world caters to those who conform to dominant ways of thinking, being, or moving through life, many are left to simply ‘make do’. Over time, invisibility becomes the norm, not the exception. In response, I take great care in my work to observe, listen, and feel into the needs of those I work with—so they feel seen, valued, and, above all, delighted. Not by accident, but through an experience designed with intention and care.
Accessibility is not only about physical space or tools—it’s also about the emotional and psychological landscape we create. My work pays close attention to how safety is felt: the ways people are invited to show up as themselves, and supported to name and challenge the subtle blocks that keep them on the margins. True inclusion means nurturing spaces where people feel welcome, respected, and whole.
None of us can dismantle harmful systems alone. But that is never a reason to shrink our efforts to surface-level gestures or tick-box exercises. Every small act, even done quietly or imperfectly, has the power to loosen the grip of what was made to feel immovable. This is why I am committed to work that challenges and uproots the deep impacts of capitalism and colonialism—on our identities, our relationships, our work, and our ways of coming together in community.
Too often, dominant culture tells us we must split ourselves apart—show only the parts that fit, hide the parts that don't. In my work, I make space for all of you: your body, your mind, your way of communicating, your ways of making meaning. None of it is too much. None of it is wrong. You were never meant to leave pieces of yourself at the door.
Yes, degrees and certifications hold value. But so does what you’ve lived. The care you’ve offered, the crises you’ve survived, the wisdom you’ve gained from walking through grief, joy, responsibility, and transition—these are all sources of deep knowing. Lived experience isn’t a bonus; it’s a vital asset that shapes how we move, lead, and serve.
None of us are free until all of us are free. My work stands with the movements for Black liberation, Indigenous sovereignty, disability justice, queer liberation, and environmental healing. Liberation is not an abstract idea. It is rooted in relationships, in reparations, in rematriation, and in the everyday choices we make.
The work I do is about remembering our humanity—in our bodies, our emotions, our relationships, our organizations. It's about tending to grief, making room for joy, honoring conflict, and celebrating the wholeness of being human. Accessibility is one part of the larger work of rehumanizing the spaces we move through every day.
Care work. Creative work. Survival work. All of it is labor. All of it deserves dignity. In a world that values profit over people, I stand with the truth that nurturing, protecting, and sustaining life is essential—and must be honored, not overlooked.
We were not made to measure our worth in hours worked or tasks completed. Our ancestors lived in rhythm with land, seasons, and each other. Before capitalism hollowed out our days, work was about purpose and connection, not endless extraction. I hold space to imagine—and build—different ways of living and contributing.
It is not enough to have the right words on a website. Living our values means reshaping the structures we are part of—addressing wage gaps, redistributing resources, choosing partners with care, and asking hard questions about our missions. Every organization must decide: Are we upholding harm, or dismantling it? Are we nourishing change, or clinging to comfort?
