My Ethics
Hi! Thanks for being here! As an artist and teacher, it is always my intention to bring equity principles fully into my work and relationships. I am constantly striving to be a more liberated and just human being; I believe that in order to be ethical teachers, we must always be in the process of self development. I know that I sometimes make mistakes in my work/practice. I am always happy to hear compassionate feedback around the ways I can bring my practice more into alignment with my politics. Please feel free to reach out to me with reviews of classes, requests for accessibility, or loving critique. I cannot guarantee I will respond to every email, but I do my best to take in all of the feedback that comes my way and synthesize it into action.

My values that I strive to bring into my work & relationships
LandBack to Indigenous peoples
Reparations for Black Americans/decedents of chattel slavery
An end to Genocide in Palestine, Sudan, Darfur, Myanmar, Xinjiang, and all other places impacted
Restorative Practices and non-disposability politics
Coalition building, class solidarity, mutual aid, and community care
Trauma informed, noncarceral schooling that returns autonomy and freedom to children
Abolition of the prison system and the police system
An end to the conditions of colonization, including but not limited to: racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ablism, classism, antisemitism, islamaphobia, and xenophobia
Deep love and value for Mother Earth and all beings upon/within her
I live and work on the traditional, unceded lands of the Lenni Lenape, Lenapehoking (sometimes called Brooklyn NYC). I encourage you to join me in monthly donations to the indigenous stewards of our homes and fighting for LandBack!
