CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the U.S. with my companion, Zak, and pet rat, Silent Bob.

ABOUT ME

Like most, I define myself by the things and people I love. I currently spend most of my time with my partner, Zak, and my rat, Silent Bob. I am a fire performing, sideshow loving dreadymomma. I graduated from the University of Michigan this past summer with a Gender and Sexuality Studies degree.

My name on here is confusing, and I apologize for that. My legal name is Danielle. However, I use the name Juniper in everyday encounters. I just never felt connected to "Danielle" or "Dani," so I decided to use a name I do feel connected to.

PHILOSOPHY

Jah, Karma, and Mother Earth.

Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Strength to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Sooner or later we all have to give up hope of a better yesterday.

So let us sleep outside tonight, lay down in our mother's arm, for here we can rest safely.

Teach, Learn, Share
