I feel most powerful when I'm taking care of my mind and body and staying true to myself. Confidence is power.
You fit in more than you think. Appreciate the people who love you and look out for yourself.
My family, friends and videos of cute baby animals.
Yoga and a bike ride.
Avocado pop.
Spicy peanut noodles.
I love to travel, but Chicago is my favorite city. Hands down. Explore the neighborhoods. Take the CTA. If you ride a bike (do!), wear a helmet.
Hug my cat with a pink nose, Simone de Beauvoir. She's usually very angry I was gone.
I'm most inspired by the women around me- my peers who are doing great important work and working their butts off. There are some seriously strong voices in the Chicago artist community. Jane Beachy (co-creator of the wildly important Salonathon) and Shannon Matesky (Queer Abstract) have been the most influential and inspiring for me personally.
National Geographic recently reported that a device created by a team of scientists in Chicago simulating a female reproductive system, had it's first period! The device called EVATAR is designed to help scientists better understand how medicines and toxins affect women differently from men.
