Read My Work
I do not move between advocacy, research, and storytelling as separate forms of work.
I move through them as connected ways of understanding and challenging the same
systems.
The work I do is shaped by lived experience, but it is not limited to it. It is built through
organizing, documentation, and sustained engagement with the structures that shape
people’s lives.
Advocacy & Movement Building
My work in advocacy is rooted in building spaces that can hold complexity.
Through the Diverse Empowerment Foundation, I led global advocacy work across 21
countries on 6 continents, bringing together disability justice, queer organizing, and
feminist movements without forcing them into a single frame.
This work is not only about visibility.
It is about participation, about who can enter spaces, shape conversations, and remain
within them.
I focus on creating approaches that make accessibility foundational and that allow communities to organize across regions without losing the specificity of
their realities.
What matters in this work is not scale alone, but whether people can enter, remain, and
shape the spaces that claim to include them.
Research & Policy Engagement
I approach research as a form of accountability.
My work engages international human rights processes and policy spaces, particularly
in relation to disability rights, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and asylum.
But I do not see research as separate from the people it is about.
Research that is not grounded in lived realities becomes extractive.
A policy that is not shaped by the community becomes detached from the lives it claims
to affect.
So my work brings lived experience into these spaces, not as an anecdote, but as a way to understand systems more accurately.
I focus on documentation that is ethical, trauma-aware, and accountable to the people
whose experiences it reflects, and on shaping analysis that can move beyond
description into change.
Writing & Storytelling
Writing is central to my work.
It is not something I do alongside advocacy or research.
It is part of how I think, how I understand, and how I challenge.
Through writing, I return to questions that do not fit neatly into reports or policy language, questions of survival, identity, care, and what it means to exist within systems that leave us out by design.
My writing holds what cannot be simplified.
It makes space for complexity, contradiction, and realities often left out of formal
advocacy.
I see storytelling as both narrative and evidence, a way of shaping how systems
understand and respond to lived experience.
I am interested in work that does not separate thought from action, or people from
policy, but brings them into the same space, without flattening what they carry.
