It’s been a beautiful and life changing journey since the day I administered my first shot of T. I was trying something (with little instruction) I had only seen people do on the internet. Early on I’d tell people my voice sounded hoarse because I was sick. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to pursue my dreams, grow a tiny mustache, LEARN a LOT, and cultivate deep loving connections with people all while in a body I know is truly my own. This is.. radical?!
Trans healthcare is essential. Have patience and be kind to yourself in the process; Nothing is more of a gift to the world than letting a truth emerge.
I love you who have stood by me, and you who have stood up for the gorgeous trans people among us.

Immensely grateful for this experience and my community in the PNW. It was important for me to reconnect with these places where I grew up, with this piece as a dedication to home. Thank you to everyone who came to witness.
🚨 SHOW ALERT 🚨 Join us on Sunday April 27th at 6pm @openflightstudio for an evening of solo works in progress.  Dancers hannah and cove have been in collaboration since their freshman year at Cornish: living together for several years in various shanty spaces, creating dance duets for 12 Minutes Max and Cafe Racer Sessions (RIP), navigating their 20’s in both near and far geographic proximity.  In Something Like the Sun, they will show their own solo work developed in different places at different times but threaded together through a shared community audience (you!!).  They are thrilled to welcome in bicoastal choreographic legend @marcofarronileonardo to show their current research as well.  The performers will also be joined by visual artist Sierra Ayers @femenineteether Â
