Last week I posted the biggest documentary project I’ve completed, and it took nearly 5 years!! 🤯

The how and the why of this taking so long is a story for another time, but what feels significant now is the choice to return.

Returning to memories, feelings, and different versions of ourselves. Honoring the roots of our interconnectedness with different forms of consciousness as we navigate changes in our shared world. If you’re curious, I hope you’ll take a look. 🐒

Worlds Between Us is out now on YouTube! (Link in Bio)

2025 was a year of shedding and new beginnings ✨ To no one’s surprise, I attended and played in a ton of shows. but I also spent a lot of time alone teaching myself how to produce. I made amazing memories with the people I love and I have such a clear vision of my goals and intentions for 2026 💕🪩 so stoked for a new year of change, breakthroughs and adventures. And if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being on this wild ride with me. I can’t wait to show you guys where we’ll go in the new year 😘🤪✨🌱🌈 💿🎧 happy NYE!

Throwing down a set of my favorite deep dubstep, grime, UKG, melodic techno, and dnb at @goddessawakeningfest. I have been loving exploring this combo of genres and embodying my inner badass.
