Welcome to My Blog!

Welcome to My First Blog Post!

I’m under no assumption that this blog will “take off” or be a big thing. Rather, I hope that this can be a useful addition to my website to help anyone who visits get to know me a little bit better. I intend to post every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern so, if you do end up liking my inner thoughts and random blog choices, do check back!

So… who am I?

Quite frankly, I don’t know exactly, and I don’t expect many other 20-somethings living in New York City to really “know” either. But there are a few things I can be certain of. A good friend of mine told me one time that I create a safe environment around myself so that others can feel comfortable to be their best selves. Another friend called me bold and passionate. I also know that I’m a fighter and, since I was about sixteen or seventeen years old, I’ve made the active choice that in public places I keep my eyes open for any racism, sexism, or xenophobia in case I can use my white privilege to help the human being on the receiving end.  

The reason why I write, act, and create is simple: I want to tell the stories that don’t get told. Part of that is showing compassion to your fellow human beings. I’m definitely not a perfect person, and I do struggle with that sometimes, but I still strive for it every day.

Hopefully, this is enough of a start to know a little bit of my personality and my outlook on life, and enough to follow me on my journey of creativity and storytelling.

Take a breath, you’re amazing.
