At the heart of my work is a simple , but powerful understanding: that relationality is the foundation of life. Everything that matters emerges through relationship. But the systems that dominate our world — capitalism, nationalism, heterosexism, technoscience — operate by severing those relationships, fragmenting what is natively whole, and isolating what should be connected. My work, whether in journalism, storytelling, public dialogue, or theory, is about naming that severance and doing my best to help suture the rupture so complexity, relationality, and life can breathe again.
