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!
