About
I am an interdisciplinary scholar and multidisciplinary artist working to harness the storytelling power of film, TV, and literature to advance public understanding of queer youth and empower BIPOC communities. Through artistic collaborations and research-informed practices, my work facilitates family-friendly conversations about queerness and cross-cultural dialogue about cultural agency in ways that reduce fear of difference and inspire solidarity.
