Favorite quote

"For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?"

Where I'm Finding Inspiration

In the work of social justice activists and thinkers around the world, in the energy of the ocean and of big trees, in watching the children in my life become who they are, in the silence of meditation, in the matter-of-fact kindness of busy new yorkers, in my student's questions, in my journal.

What I Do For Fun, Rest, and Renewal

These days I am spending a lot of time drumming with Fogo Azul, an all-women/trans/non-binary Samba Reggae drumline in NYC. I love the power of the drums and the generosity of the community. I also find renewal in reading, crochet, my plants, and time with my beloved family and friends.
