I identity as a queer woman of color, tracing my heritage to to the citizens and land stewards of Kiskeya diasporas (Ayiti and RD). My roots are intertwined by the centered survival and reclamation of Taino-Arawak and African ancestry.

My pronouns are (s/h/we), inclusive of the "we," symbolizing my connection to higher consciousness, and both the masculine and feminine aspects that are mirrored in my connections with both myself and the world.

My heart smilies.

Arikoma bu (thank you),

Vierge

I thank my ancestors. My lineage. My human companions. I am my mother's mother's mother's and forebearer's realization.

May the universe always be in my favor.
