Old worlds are dying, and new ones are being brought into existence. My work as a performer and speaker exists at this threshold, tracing what has been severed, and imagining what can be rebuilt.
As a Performer
I explore immersive storytelling mediums that invite my audience into the being and emotional body of my work. From poetry, spoken word, and oral storytelling to collaborative performance, my work is grounded in sound, emotion, and embodiment as narrative. I collaborate with artists and musicians to create experimental and genre-bending work that refuses to separate art from politics, or the personal from the collective.
My writing explores themes of exile and belonging, homeland, diasporic tensions, and identity reclaimed. It grapples with the act of return: to self, to land, to humanity as nature. Above all, my work probes the complexities of humanity and the dreams that keep us human.
Since 2023, I have performed at over 20 events, cultivating spaces for collective grief, resistance, and remembrance. I aim to push the boundaries of what performance can hold, and how it can move us toward liberation.
This work is rooted in the conviction of art as strategy, memory, mobilization and resistance.
As a Speaker, Researcher & Liberation Worker
I facilitate teach-ins, moderate and sit on panels, deliver talks and keynotes, and present at conferences. My work centers decolonization and re-indigenization, the architecture of settler colonialism and how to challenge it, intersectional oppression and justice, indigeneity and belonging, Palestine and histories of resistance, social movements, joint struggle, community organizing, and collective care.
I am committed to celebrating alternative understandings of knowledge and knowledge sharing, rooting in the legacies of our ancestral wisdoms. My approach centers practical and applicable knowledge that serves our liberation.
I facilitate critical conversations on anti-racism through collaborations with grassroots organizations and academic institutions, including work with SMACT (Studio for Media Activism & Critical Thought) at TMU. In 2019, I presented research with the Canadian Centre on Statelessness on Indigenous statelessness in Turtle Island at the Indigenous Bar Association Conference.
