In the community
Projects & collaborations
My public-facing work is an extension of my writing practice: a space for shared reflection, conversation, and connection.
Through collaborations with artists, filmmakers, musicians, educators, and community organizations, my story has found new audiences and new forms. Here are a few of the projects, partnerships, and events that have grown from that work.
