I have a passion for questions. For exploring the tense magics of our world. Probing why inequity & injustice exist. Perhaps these questions find seed because I came to the U.S. as an immigrant or because I have grown up amongst a world of women.

I advocate for justice and create as a social practice artist & writer. In my advocacy & art, I create space for immigrant belonging, gender & racial equity, and healing.

Miracle Marks, my second book of poetry, explores violence against women, the sacred, and gender & racial equity.

My debut poetry collection on migration and belonging, Terrain Tracks, won the Many Voices Project prize.

In 2016-17, I led a first-hand stakeholder research & systems change facilitation process which spurred a 2018 NYC community-based initiative to address intimate violence. I continue to advance restorative practices and community-based solutions to addressing violence.

I am grateful for my ongoing collaborations with the brilliant visual artist, Anjali Deshmukh, and our public art can be seen at Circlefor and at our shop.
