A dear friend of mine commented the following on an image I posted with gender-neutral terms in support of #nonbinarypride. Instead of getting upset at the biased opinions that continue to invalidate the #nonbinary or #trans communities, I was thrilled at the opportunity to educate her as I myself continue to learn and deconstruct the...

Other than the poem I read at my mom’s funeral when I was 18, this is the scariest goddamn thing I’ve ever read in public. I am forever grateful to Poetry 719 for creating a safe space at the Letters to My Exes open mic last month where I could rip my guts out and... Continue Reading →
It’s interesting to me how many people complain about the negativity/toxicity they see on social media, but continue to spread fearful or hateful posts on their own feeds.
