My family is... complex. We are fueled by a fierce loyalty and unrelenting love for each other. We are also fueled by hate, knocking each other down frequently then, walking away, just to see if the other person can get back up on their own. We've each been through so much but, we're still standing. My family has taught me to persevere, how to be compassionate and resilient.

I'm a woman.I know that I'm lucky to be a part of such a vast sisterhood. I had long curly hair up until I was 19 then, I chopped it all off because I could. I'm beautiful anyways and I'm strong. I fight back against sexism. I'm worth just as much as anyone else. Being a woman with dark corners in my past gives me a great ability to feel empathy. I want everyone to be better than okay, for everyone to have the same opportunities.

When my words fail me, I create art. It's a medium that understands me. You start out with nothing and you make it into something that reflects a part of you. I began drawing when I was really little and it's grown into pottery, painting and sculptures. This allows me to see the value of myself and my own two hands.

I've made my choices and have constructed my own life. I started working at 14 and have been working ever since, I even had up to four jobs at a time while in high school. I work hard to make sure that I don't need anyone but, if they want to be a part of my life I welcome them. I can depend on myself. I know, on the darkest days and in the end it will just be me.

I believe in what I can see: people and nature. Science is facts and, I believe in facts as well. However, I also do believe that there may be something more our there. Although, I don't see that there could be a deity watching over us. I take solace in the fact that this life may be all that we have and try to live accordingly.

Growing up in Moab, Utah made me long to see the world outside of that valley. I've traveled across the world and around the United States because of that itch. Everywhere has something to offer, I take great delight in being a part of those places, even if it's only for a moment.
