Hi friends!
This week through my voice I talk about the practice of observing bird kin around me on unceded Coast Salish land, the Great Blue Heron habitat near where I am, the idea of revolutionary mothering seeded through Alexis Pauline Gumbs' edited anthology, and the radical care it takes to choose life and birth my artist self/free creative expression.
I also seed a project that I'm working on behind the scenes, to create a facilitated group art/writing space where we can get curious about our own artistic processes, especially when we struggle to identify with the 'artist' label. More on that soon!
Thank you for listening and the kind words y'all send me through text messages and emails! It's so cool to learn about how this format is landing for you and to continue this vocal exploration.

I leave you with the duck mama and babies, happy Cancer season! ♋ 🌊 🎆
See you next week <3
