she/her. Lover. Space Curator. Professional Questioner. Black & Queer AF chasing all things beautiful, divine, & just.
As a person who never got to trick or treat & celebrate Halloween as a kid, it gives me so much joy to hand out treats. Takis were by far the hit of the night but them kids cleaned us out of almost everything.

We were tired so we threw on old PJs & went as big bones 😂. Our dog just went as cute lol

2025 Surgery #3 is done. I know healthcare is a barrier but getting medical treatments is an act of care if you can manage it. S/o to my amazing eye health team & surgeons for helping me get relief.

Fun fact: If I don’t cuss around you, you’re not getting my most authentic self. It’s not bc I think cussing itself is essential but bc I believe in using the full range of my vocabulary in speech. Sometimes I need to be emphatic or colloquial and that means using a word some think is profane.

From Day 1 she has stood for me being my Black, queer, disabled, justicey, Christian Minister self.

May you all encounter romantic, platonic, & familial love that holds you whole regardless of how/if you publicly share your sexuality & gender.

A blessed coming out day to all. Here’s your annual reminder that I’m a queer AF pansexual who found deep & joy filled love with my wife despite not coming out publicly until I was 30.

Part of what’s so dope about what we have is we hold each other whole.

May God and every sacred source that help lift up your spirit and your head be with you.

May we honor the gifts and grit our ancestors & elders gave to equip us for what is here and what all may come our way.

Wear a mask, vaccinate, take precautions. You don’t want navigating long covid or its 200+ symptoms like my chronic fatigue syndrome to be your reality. I wouldn’t wish this on the devil.

If your revolutionary and resistance work isn’t accessible, your understanding of liberation is lacking. We all can’t leave or be outside or even divest at times because some of our literal survival is linked to spaces, services, or things non-disabled folks have different relationships to.

Me wanting collective liberation for all **explicitly** means I do not want anyone bound - literally and metaphorically. I don’t want anyone living under the specter of terror or fear and work for a world shaped by accessibility, agency, accountability, and honor.

Imma put this out there so folks can join their energy to mine via prayer, intention setting, manifestation work, & more:

I need folk willing to be patrons, benefactors, & resourceful midwives for me & my work. Who will share what they’ve got to help me bring the things I dream of into this world.

Live action of me every morning and after naps because of my long covid, CFS/ME, & fibromyalgia 🙃😂💩

Now is the time to remember that our struggles and our liberations are intertwined.

The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can do the work to form communities that fight back, resist, & create new things to sustain us all.

Give what you can to liberation & to those who’ve risked so much for so long.

I believe in holding things in this life with an open heart & open hands which helps me move with intent, in love. So know that it’s with deep intent and abundant love that I share this is my last week on the @xians4palestine.bsky.social National leadership team.

It should not be a scandal to say that people should not starve. Their age, religion, ethnicity, or any other facet of identity does not matter.

People should not starve.
People should not starve.

Imagine being entrusted to talk to kids & telling them “you deserve to die”.

Despite the trash Jackie Hill Perry yaps, *JESUS* says there is an abundant, rich, & satisfying life he hopes we have because of his sacrifices (John 10).

A whole lotta nope on this raggedy lil holiday lolol

As Pride month comes to an end I find myself holding bittersweet feelings. Though I managed to make it to Pride in 2023 when people were still socially distancing and widely masking, I grieve not being able to be out there anymore.
June 30, 2025 at 6:08 AM
Said this a year ago today.

Still me. Still true.

I’m so grateful to share my take on The Riverside Church’s #bibleinaminute project. Psalm 145 is one of my fave scripture texts bc not only is it speaking about legacy & intergenerational connection, we see that our agency & wills matter too!

May it be on Earth as it is in Heaven! May we embrace holy fire Pentecost brings.
June 8, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Part of why I choose to be so OUT is bc I wish younger me had a model of queer possibility. I am the churchy, Black AF femme drawn people bc of who they are, not their gender who I needed.

A blessed Pride to all who being who they need to be - out or discreet. We all gotta do what we need to live 🌈

One of the gifts my long covid has brought with it has been ME/CFS with a side of PEM. Chronic fatigue and post exertion malaise aren’t just feelings of tiredness - they impact your whole body and being, leaving you feeling like a depleted ghost of your former self. #mecfs #chronicfatigue

Happy birthday to me!

May joy forever be my inheritance,
may the holy fires I’m called to stoke and start catch & be sustained.
May goodness, mercy, laughter, and justice follow me, and may my legacy be rooted in the truth that love is my resistance.
