My writing and visions center around one core objective: how can we center healing and wellness as a priority for all of humanity and Mother Earth?
My Research and Publications:
I write about the liberatory potential of yoga, social movements, immigrant and racial justice organizing, and abolition. Several of my essays are open access and can be read for free.
