Writing & Public Speaking
I am a writer and public speaker who has expertise in topics including grief, embodiment, social change, care practices, arts education and harm reduction. With my background in International Relations and Political Economy, my research interests cross pollinate between topics that can create relational wellbeing and support culture change to support the web of life.
I have been commissioned to write for Stanford Social Innovation Review, The Serpentine Galleries’ Civics & Education Department, Tate Diaglogues, The Berlin Club Commission, The Global Environments Network and Vice Magazine to name a few. In 2024, my debut book was published by North Atlantic Books – Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community.

Harm Reducation
Author of the foreward for Body Autonomy: Decolonizing Sex Work and Drug Use.
I had the pleasure of writing the foreward for this pivotal book by Justice Rivera about the interconnections between the criminalisation of sex work and drug use. It inspres us to dream beyond carceral logics to grow cultures and movements rooted in care, harm reduction and body autonomy.
