author | poet | thread artist

I am a storyteller and a poet.

I use words and thread, pencil and needle, paper and fabric.

my work is an ongoing conversation with myself.

Immigrant.

I am more than my accent.

Can you not hear it?

Listen.

I am the rich voice of my people,

echoing across the oceans;

over the centuries

they whisper to me,

‘You are not alone,

we too are here.’

—Immigrant.
