Sorry for being MIA, but there has been some nice things happening to me that’s bringing me some much-needed joy.

Please donate to my fundraiser and share!

Loving myself for the very first time in over 10 years never felt so good.

Sorry for being MIA for a while, but I’m going through a lot right now.
I guess going outside just to BREATHE is so much needed right now.
How are you doing?

Thanks so much for everything, Big Mo & Anonymous Girl.

Hi! My name is Nessa Amherst, and I'm an #actor and #writer in the Washington, DC area. This is my first day on Bluesky, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I can't wait to share my adventures in cooking, baking, everyday occurrences, and this crazy thing called acting!
