“ I operate in a fullness I don’t have to shapeshift out of.”

-yesterKelse in a journal reflection from late 2019

I have made a commitment to live in yesterKelse’s manifestation denying shapeshifting. My work is an opportunity to celebrate fullness by honoring my HERE.

In my practice, I lead with yes/and and celebrate the messy yet meaningful parts of our existence. I‘m drawn to the idea of learning and reflecting in public, because I don’t want to treat my growth process as a top secret project that can only be revealed when I have something fancy to show off. I am worthy of presence right now.

My work is rooted in love, Black queer feminist politic, Neo-soul, and cackles. I am a proud Virgo and California burrito stan.

Thank you for choosing to be here with me.
