Creative consultant + Writer + Facilitator + Researcher + Community builder +
I am a chronically-ill, genderqueer community builder, writer and sangoma who does the most.
Much of my work is rooted in pleasure, community, healing and dreaming, while being informed by Disability and Transformative justices.
I write, research, and speak on various issues
I explore feminism, community, sexual and reproductive justice, consent, rape culture and justice. With my 8+ years of experience theorising on the ways in which these topics intersect with pleasure.
I founded Hedone, a community platform
Hedone brings people together to explore and understand the power of trauma-awareness and pleasure in their daily lives.
Workshops & Mentoring
My work with young people across the continent nourishes me. I host workshops, and mentor them around issues of pleasure and liberation, using creativity and storytelling as fractal solutions to social injustices.
In the spotlight
My TEDx talk ‘Reimagining BDSM’ looks at the tenderness and love that reveals itself in a lifestyle often only seen through an extreme lens.
I believe deeply in the individual and collective potential of regenerative change, pleasure and care work.
