About Me
About Me | I’m an ultra-progressive, andro-femme organism who is a total information sponge and who never stops talking about intersectionality. I have degrees in Public Health and in Gender/Ethnic Studies, and minors in Sociology and Human Sexuality. Education is HUGE to me.
My type could be described as the sweet girl next door. I like intelligent, wholesome girly types in sundresses and the like (Also, ahem, thick thighs make me swoon.). Unfortunately, in my experience, most femmes aren’t into other femmes, not even andro-femmes, so……. I’m just gonna read a book. |

What I Like
Favorite Books | Fathers & Sons, Etc. |
Favorite Queer Books | Without A Net, |
Favorite Documentaries | The Stonewall Uprising, Pretty much anything on PBS, BBC, or NOVA |
Favorite TV Shows | Being Mary Jane Luther (BBC) She’s Got To Have It |
Favorite Music | Ray LaMontagne Kendrick Lamar Solange Anthony Hamilton Maxwell Robert Johnson Beyonce 6LACK SZA Tegan and Sara Hamilton soundtrack Howlin’ Wolf Erykah Badu (her music, not so much her) If you couldn’t tell, I am much more of a connoisseur of music than film/television. Music IS my film/television. I can get into almost any type of music; I love it! |
Favorite Sandwich | You can rest assured that it is complicated and only I could create a sandwich to suit my tastes (picky eaters, please put your hands up). |
Favorite Quotes |
“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” “It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one’s dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank, and independent.” “Being marginalized in one area does not negate your privilege in another.” “Para grabar con el deseo y guardar silencio al respecto es el mayor castigo que podemos llevar con nosotros mismos.” “I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.” |
Favorite Thing on Autostraddle.com | I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to make that choice. I like so much of it. I suppose I read articles from the ‘News & Politics’ and the ‘First Person’ sections most frequently. Also the music recommendations. |
Favorite Writers | I like many of the writers on Autostraddle. I simply cannot decide. |
