Living with a Dead Name: Vol. 3 I have a Dead Gender, not a Dead Name
I don’t really have a dead name, I have a dead gender. My name is gender fluid. It’s not specifically for one gender or another. My name is special and was given to me for a reason. Just because I am evolving into my true and highest self, doesn’t mean I should kill my name. I choose to kill the gender you once associated with my name because it is no more.
Praxis: Creating a Visual Research Statement
Ah, the dreaded academic job search. You cull over hundreds of job calls from universities across the states to find that there are only 2-3 that really fit you, and by you I mean me.

Euphoria: Vol. 1 Pokemon Perfect
The first time that someone referred to me as he/him on Discord, a smile exploded across my face that took me by surprise.

Who knew I would have such a euphoric moment, all thanks to Pokemon GO.
Living With a Dead Name: Vol. 1 A.B. Art
Changing your name is tricky. It took me 5 months to change my name to A.B. Art and I couldn’t be happier, but that pesky dead name keeps popping up!
Isn't that a little loud? Lessons from my grandma’s closet.
The foundation of my life art and teaching praxis, I learned from my grandmother and Paulo Freire.
