From crooked bangs to corduroy collars, the late ’70s and early ’80s had me serving looks I didn’t even know I owned. A little sneak peek into the stories behind these faces—coming soon in Sugar in My Britches. #SugarInMyBritches #MemoirInTheMaking #RetroVibes #QueerMemoir #SouthernStories

Coming home hits different when you’ve been through some things. The road is the same the same, but you’re not. This chapter’s closing with a front porch and a deep breath. #nextchapter #cominghome #southernlife

San Diego tried to seduce me with perfect weather, street tacos, and a man named Chad who sells crystals out of his Prius. I barely escaped. Mentally, I’m still there.

Some days just hit different. The laughs, the quiet moments, the people who make it all worth it. Glad I caught this one on camera. #DaysLikeThese #LukeCombsVibes #CountrySoul #SmallTownHeart #LifeInMotion #MomentsThatMatter #SouthernStorytelling #HeartstringsAndHarmony #GratefulFeels

Never thought I’d wrangle the chaos in my head onto paper—but here I am, 9 chapters deep and still going. Chapter 10’s a mystery, just like half my childhood. Might call it “Y’all Ain’t Ready.” Might call it therapy. Either way, it’s coming. #SoutherMemoir #southernstories #queerwriter

I’m part porch ghost, part coastal gremlin, blessin’ hearts and mindin’ mine. I’ll gas you up, hand you a cold drink, and vanish politely before the drama starts.
