Writing
My personal essays primarily focus on identity, connection, and the later in life experience. Topics have included coming out later-in-life, midlife adolescence, belonging, love, overcoming people-pleasing, the need to be “nice,” and perfectionism. I’ve also recently started a Queer Non Fiction writing group in Toronto. You can find it on instagram here and join the mailing list here.
