I work with social justice organizations to create space for healing, equity, and opportunities for communities of color.
In 2008, I won the inaugural SONY South Asian Excellence Award for Social Service for my leadership fighting violence against women. Find out more about my consulting services.
I believe in the beauty of change. You can see my content and creative expertise in “What Creates Change?,” a storytelling film on ending violence.
During the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I directed Together We Are New York, a community-based multimedia poetry project to highlight the voices of Asian Americans. I co-led a creative expression workshop, Movement to Power, to confront gender violence and enable healing.
I am the author of two poetry collections: Miracle Marks (Northwestern UP: 2019) and Terrain Tracks (New Rivers Press: 2006) and a chapbook Dark Lip of the Beloved: Sound Your Fiery God-Praise (Belladonna*: 2015).
