I design and co-create play-based experiences.
What does that mean? I co-create intentional and inspirational spaces for people to be fully themselves - especially for those who don't feel capable of being so in other areas of life.
Sometimes we are playing with the camera. Sometimes we are playing with playdough. Sometimes we are walking and blowing bubbles. Sometimes we are silent and playing with words.
But in every situation, I'm doing all I can to ensure those participating feel accepted and encouraged to be FREELY THEMSELVES.

I find myself continuously enraged for women because we do not have that ability.
If we dress showing too much skin, we open ourselves up to judgment and harassment. If we are too loud, we invite the toxic words of men judging us for being TOO MUCH. (Too little skin? Prude. Too quiet? Inviting whatever happens to her.) Etc, etc, etc.
I could keep going, but you've heard it all. You've heard it for DECADES.
On top of the stories of the Cornell 7 (57), I've witnessed/experienced multiple scenarios over the past week of male harm. A woman who was alone and accosted by a man she had vetted and was a "friend". Two female bankers being talked down to by an old man. My own experiences of being talked over, diminished, and joked about. In ONE DAMN week.
🔥🔥🔥
Today's theme is B + ITCHY. (Witchy, Kitschy, B + itchy...our October words)
And this one is different depending on who you are:
Girls, g**s, and theys: Find a way to express yourself today. If you feel safe, speak up. Call someone out. Stick your ground. If you don't, journal ferociously. Put on a song and dance like your body is creating the energy to destroy all of the shame you've been made to carry.
Men: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Talk to a woman in your life, ask about her story, and JUST LISTEN. Call out a friend if he makes a sexist joke or approaches another woman in any kind of uninvited way. Take five damn minutes to journal about how YOU have caused harm in your life, even if unintentionally.
🔥🔥🔥
I'm going to keep on designing and co-creating.
Those spaces allow us to rage, cry, laugh, dance...to feel ALIVE without fear.
Play is a form of resistance.
