For a project, I'm seeking to collaborate with poets & prose writers who have work—published or unpublished—on themes of migration, borders, or language. If interested, please DM me. Also looking to work with writers/translators who write in languages other than English. Thanks!

Sometimes, I wake up and remind myself there is nothing wrong with me. I'm just unlearning patterns, healing old wounds, and learning new ways to be. I'm becoming more of who I truly am in a way I don’t yet understand.
