About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get fluent in spanish, to stay true to myself and the present moment, to act out of love and not fear.

ABOUT ME

About me! I am a queer, mexican-american, anti-zionist jew. I am a feminist woman, with a mind geared towards social justice and raising consciousness around oppression, sexism, homophobia, racism, and all the evil that persists. I want to get seriously fluent in spanish, and to get closer to my mexican heritage. I am headed to mexico, and hope to stay there indefinitely.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in challenging myself and others around me, in being challenged, in never settling for comfort or an easy way out. the greatest things in life take work to attain, emotionally physically mentally and tangibly. I love love, i love people, I live to put forth my gifts towards making positive change and exerting as much goodness as possible, and never giving up or letting fear control me.
