Community
I came to community work after Prop 8 and never really left. Since then I’ve been producing and organizing at the intersection of queerness, creativity, and community life — co-founding Long Beach Equality, organizing Dyke March Long Beach, programming for QFilms, and producing readings, podcasts, film events, and writing circles rooted in queer life and cultural memory.
Some ongoing community-focused projects.
