Speaking is a two-way street: a balance between listening and sharing.

I’ve been so grateful to explore vulnerable storytelling for over a decade.

I started sharing when I was 15.

At 13-years-old, I came out as a lesbian in a conservative, religious, and homophobic immigrant household.

Two years later, I noticed the need for representation, community, and support. So I went to the internet and started sharing my story.

Vulnerable storytelling has been a pillar of my life, and I am so grateful and privileged to do the work I can today on a professional level.

It’s about everyone involved. Reading the room, making adjustments to best engage. Even before stepping onto the stage, I’m asking myself what would make the audience feel seen.
