I am an activist, an artist, and a mother located in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati. I am a sculptor of some sort, I suppose and an organizer with Cincinnati Radical Feminist Collective, a grassroots collective that focusses on issues the oppress non-males in our community. I am on the board of directors at the Village Green Foundation, a community based organization that focusses on outreach and education by creating sustainable alternatives to food access and transportation through a community gardening program and bicycle co-op. I have a 6 year old human child, Cora, two pitbulls, Sweetie and Naomi and a perfect kitty named Feather. I like to read and listen to lots and lots of sad grrrl/rio grrrl music. I like to travel, but due to life circumstances, have not been able to afford much outside of finding a place to sleep in the woods for a few days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing to enable myself and others to travel within our means and meet rad folks from all over.
