RescuePoetix
Art Form(s):Artist Statement
The Literary Arts and Poetry are an exploration of the unknown, embracing the joys and challenges while growing and building through every experience. Each opportunity of written, performed expression is a personal testament into the excitement that leaning into the unknown can ignite. Born with an unquenchable hunger for learning and connection, I bring the freedom of discovery to engage and develop new understandings and ask questions. Language inclusivity is paramount to social emotional learning. I work with communities to embrace the linguistic richness as a connection with ourselves and one another.
