Whether spoken or written, words have always been my way of connecting with the world. 
 
I’ve used them to help people feel seen and heard.

To unpack complex concepts and ideas.

To make amends. 
 
They’ve helped me cultivate friendships and start a family. 
 
Now I’m looking to them to amplify our shared humanity in hopes of reminding us that we’re far more alike than the algorithms would lead us to believe.
