Justice For All
This page outlines how I strive to make my work across all platforms and mediums an inclusive space that respects and celebrates diversity in all its forms. This page is more than just a collection of promises; it's a public commitment to accountability, growth, and the active support of all communities in pursuit of justice and equity.
You will notice even my style of writing is different here. That is because I know the harms that have been committed in the name of power and privilege aren't just a thing of the past, but a very real reality for many people today.
​
There may be times when we disagree, or I fall short of expectations, but I can promise I will never intentionally cause harm and will always consider feedback thoughtfully.
