Describe yourself in 3 words…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Curious, dream-oriented and my housemate just said \u2018spunky\u2019 haha <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspires you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

REVOLUTION! When I chat to people about changing the world, I zoom out of myself and into collective consciousness- this is such an authentic sweet spot to create from. I am also obsessed with queer ecology and mythology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your worst ever gig?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t really hierarchise performances, as I try to observe and not judge. But the inevitable nervous tummy, desire to poop and jelly knees exhaust my nervous system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your number one poetry pet peeve?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grammar policing, all language is made up and shaming people into speaking a certain way is oppressive. I grew up in a bilingual household and find fusion poetry so much more engaging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whose words do you love at the moment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My gorgeous friends Iman Sultan West (@imanwest_<\/a>) and Shakara (@_shak.ara<\/a>) are absolutely smashing the Bristol poetry scene. Iman is f*cking hilarious, witty and rhythmic and attending one of Shakara\u2019s performances is guaranteed to shift your very being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Read All About Love by Bell Hooks and learn to play a sexy instrument like a saxophone <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favourite season of the year and why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Summer, I have a codependent relationship with the sun oops<\/p>\n\n\n
