I’m, a Greensboro, NC born, D(M)V area based queer Black femme-presenting, busyish, transit-adjacent possibility model for Black folks who are at least queer-affirming if not queer themselves to make their own clothing, home decor, and other art and crafty things to reclaim ancestral knowledge and power and nurture the planet.
Im 36 years old and i make jewelry for a living. I suffer from disabilities after a stroke in 2020. I have been diagnosed with Seizure Disorder, Funtional Neurological Movement Disorder with mixed symptoms, Endometriosis, Iron and B-12 deficiencies, POTS, and being tested for Hypermobile Ehlos-Danlos syndrome. Making jewelry helps get me through living with these conditions and makes me feel like i can still be productive even on days i can't do much. In the last 5 years after loosing my mom I became disabled and couldnt walk well, and now I walk with a cane and have seizures frequently.
I am a Maryland artist. I was raised in Dorchester county and now reside in Wicomico county. I love experimenting with all sorts of mediums and styles.
