land acknowledgment
We wish to honor the Indigenous people of what is now known as the state of Florida, upon whose land we live, work, and heal. We honor the Pensacola, Apalachee, Guale, Timucua, Potano, Ocale, Tocobaga, Mayaimi, Ais, Calusa, Jeaga, Tequesta and Matecumbe tribes. We further honor the lost indigenous people of the Jaega, the Seminole, and the Taino tribes of Singer Island, where we operate this program, and who rightfully belonged here unmolested.
art, advocacy, and access
Living defiantly through healing and artistry
Being a voice for change is the lifeblood of why I create art, and recovery after abuse is foundational to my voice. Everything I create is in service to building an inclusive art therapy program for survivors of sexual violence to reclaim their power after abuse. You can learn more about each area of focus below.
