Interview

• How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
  I largely don't operate with money, so when I have all the bills paid, the rest goes directly into supporting my community by attending events and sponsoring various artistic ventures. I find buying those bonds to be very important in bringing people together.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  I'm a god damn empath and I can't turn it off ahahaha!
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  Both of these bring me great joy!
• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  I'd definitely tell you about all the ways I find beauty in the world and all the things I hope for, I'd share stories of people I once knew and lessons I've learned, punctuated with flippant jokes about my experience to keep the mood somewhat light, and I'd look out at the ocean wistfully and breathe deeply into that moment.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  My eternal quest for authenticity, I don't do well with limiting situations or fitting into boxes, and by existing as myself and exploring the world the way I do, I hope that people around me will feel encouraged and enabled to express themselves freely too!
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  I would survive, but without being able to make art, dance, or make music, is it really a life worth living? As for the last two, a life without the summer sun sounds like the worst! I want to be as naked as possible at all times so to be constricted by layers of clothes would suck! Finally on that note, my sense of style, it's an important part of my visual taste and is an extension of the way I move through the world - a massive contradiction considering I just implied I'm a nudist ahaha!
