I am a multidimensional artist, shaping possibilities beyond binary bounds,

Defying convention and societal confines, my spirit knows no bounds

I am a spirit filled with relentless vitality

committed to create a playful and equitable world.

Uplifting our relatives in all, guided by flora and fauna.

I am a galaxy of wonder and intellect.

A maya warrior

a soil sister, an ancient butterfly.

A rock and dust, past and present.
