I grew up watching the gravel roads turn paved in the small Arctic town of Kotzebue, Alaska. My childhood summer days were spent performing for tourists from all across the world.
As a young adult, I flew to any opportunity that presented itself to me. From a spontaneous studio in Los Angeles, to an international symposium in Geneva… from studying on a ship throughout the Panama Canal to reconnecting with Inuit from Chukotka to Kalaallit Nunaat… I am a woman of wonder. I am curious about life.
My only real solid answers lie within the stories told through poetry and astrology. So, I thought I would share them through Braiding Convos and Cosmic Cues.

braiding
convos
poetry on love, culture, trauma and faith
I get caught within my stories all the time. When I'm with my friends, our convos go off in many directions. There are so many stories we let go of because we turn them into new ones and forget where we were going.
​
Braiding Convos is the act of talking all over the place, but being able to eventually bring it back to the center. The center is the relationship between the storyteller and the listener. That bond between them is the braid that holds us all together.
