The Top Ten Things I Need You to Know
​
1. I believe in the equal creation of all beings. You are loved and valued simply because you were created as such. Period. You are not less than. Period.
​
2. I believe in the full inclusion of all people, be that regarding rights and privileges or participation in a faith community. I believe in leading with love, a listening ear, and quiet tongue.
​
3. I work every day towards anti-racism. I denounce Christian Nationalism. I believe in exercising my privilege to use my voice until I can safely hand over my seat at the table. I love the table-turning, hypocrisy denouncing, women empowering Jesus.
​
4. I love creating worlds to which people can escape. Worlds that invoke peace, calm, joy, and hope.
​
5. Hope is crucial. In everything and in every way. Add empowerment to the mix? Unstoppable.
​
6. I am passionate about educating grievers and helpers by stripping away all stigmas, and teaching to embrace the experience.
​
7. In my free time, I read, snuggle with my dog, play board or card games, walk, or binge tv shows. My all-time favorite show remains and will forever be Beverly Hills, 90210. Don't try to change my mind.
​
8. I have tattoos and piercings. I will fiercely protect my inner circle. My dog is my child.
​
9. I consider roller coasters therapy.
