CURRENT MISSION

Finding a catchy sentence for my mission.

ABOUT ME

I am a human, loved of discoveries through my sense, especially taste, as many of my childhood' stories can asset, I have started to interact with the world through my taste buds and still do(though I have slightly become more selective in my gustatory endeavors. ). In other words I love cooking, eating, fermenting, brewing, cheese-making and dumpster diving. Sandor Ellis Katz has become my new idol. If you know who he is, we should definitely hang out around a turnip choucroute

I play piano, dance, write, sew(I am a costume maker as well), listen to music, go to political conferences, and love to read about everything possible from mushroom growing to libanese poetry. I have worked as an educator in food security, environmental education and art projects. I have a infinite curiosity for the plant and animal kingdom, and was probably mycelium in another life.

New love these days: PROTEST PUPPETS, NATURAL DYES( I am doing experiment with vegetables and trees especially), AFRICAN-AMERICAN IMPROVISATIONAL QUILTS, FORARING AND BREWING.

and any type of regional traditional craft that you could teach me.

My weaknesses are well-made shoes, local fabrics and good food.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that you should always allow yourself to be surprised.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked on an Oral History Project with young breakdancers from Gulu, Uganda.

Made puppets with adult reconnecting with their inner kid.

Was born(thanks to my mother).

Teach, Learn, Share
