About Writing Editing & Coaching Testimonials FTV Thank You Video

I recognize I live and work on the ancestral and current homeland of the Nooksack and Lummi people, who cultivate interconnected relationships with all beings—living and non-living. I recognize indigenous wisdom keepers and tradition holders live on this land today, and vibrant cultures are still alive.

I recognize oppression and racism are real and fundamental in our current systems. That oppression and racism are based in fear, hatred, and in a story of ‘power-over.’ I recognize violence was and is perpetuated against Native Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, and many people from many cultures, ethnicities, sexualities, and genders. I recognize as a white cis-gendered middle-class college educated woman of settler/emigrant heritage I have—and will continue to have—privilege, blind spots, and power because of this system. And I recognize the fundamental injustice in this.

I recognize this system was created for and is perpetuated to keep us separate and afraid. If unquestioned and unchanged it will destroy us. And, too, I recognize the unfathomable creative potential in human kinship. I believe we have what it takes to heal and to foster vitality. I work and live with hope, a willingness to be wrong, and to do what it takes to live in ever more mutuality.

I believe in the power of care and love. I write to help craft a narrative of possibility and healing.
