I am a Black, Queer, Dynamically Disabled Feminist, Urbanist originally from Greensboro, North Carolina…
but living with my partner in Southwest Washington, DC. I’ve lived in Raleigh, Durham, Kansas City, Baltimore, and just outside of DC in Prince George’s County, Maryland (Oxon Hill-Glassmanor), and traveled across the United States and Canada.
I am a Sagittarian Millennial (born December of 1985) and while I was raised in the Black Church with elements of the white-led Evangelical church, my views and faith are now more in line with the progressive and emergent church movement, which has allowed me to reconcile the faith practices of my ancestors and the faith practices of other non-white, non-American peoples, into a journey of life where I seek to do right by others and do right by myself.
I am hyperconscious of the physical and spiritual spaces I inhabit.
At the moment I call this my Black Queer Feminist Urbanist ethic and practice.
I’m currently building out a Black Queer Feminist Urbanist Index. I explain all about that and how I got this point in this video from my Inaugural Black Queer Feminist Urbanist Summit.
Additionally, I have always loved reading, writing, listening to and making music, studying history, sociology, and public policy, and making things with my hands, especially things that involve fibers and fabrics.
