Hello, World.

As a queer, Black person in the Midwest, I have created an intentional space for self expression in my approach to mathematics, in my poetry, through fashion, and collaborations with artists in my community and beyond.

Thank you for being here :)

I believe in building capacity for humans to do more human things (like making art and building community).

I believe in having open conversations about the ethical implications of our changing technological landscape.

I believe in engaging in political and community action to advocate for and enact the change I would like to see in this world.

I believe in providing access to quality technical training and STEM education that considers the whole person.

I believe in exploring math as a philosophy, a body of logic to give shared language to the phenomena we experience in our perceived world.

I believe in art as a tool for self expression and cultural preservation.

I believe everyone can be a math person. Even you!
