ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Jermaine Andrew SIIW. I am an academic writer, poet, dancer, teacher, learner, model, artist, etc. I am the oldest of four children my mother had. Omniscience, among other things, is what I strive to be and acquire. My preferred gender pronouns are HE/HIM/HIS and I would consider myself pretty queer.

PHILOSOPHY

I live because I strive to understand the importance of love and humanity. Love is the only thing that really matters and learning to respect, honor, and revere each others' humanity is the way to "get" love.
