I will be back at the New Harmony Project as The Community Care Facilitator! Excited to continue to support the artists, staff, and NHP community as we create, restore, and grow together.

Our Village United is on a mission to provide culturally competent and community-centric programs to support small business owners. I was the Wellness Champion for Our Village United’s first ELEVATE LA cohort. I provided 6 Wellness Support groups over the program’s 12 week course that were a mix of psycho-education and processing space.

After a great experience as a Writer at the 2022 New Harmony Project, I collaborated with the staff to create a new staff position: A Wellness Consultant. This would allow the artists and staff to have on site Wellness Support— a lot can come up when creating! After creating the job they asked if I would do it. And I said yes! My artistic skills and therapist training got to combine in a beautiful way.

Queer Cat Production’s Selected Artist, Rawiyah Tariq, premiered a five person show. I wrote and performed the element of Fire.

I was chosen as one of twelve writers for a ten-day, all inclusive retreat in New Harmony, IN. The New Harmony Project is an intensive, creative residency and retreat program that takes place in the spring of each year; it has been around for more than three decades.
