I'm from South Africa, I'm a teacher and amateur artist. I'm 40, my pronouns are she/her. I advocate for mental health awareness, LGBTQI+ rights, trauma survivors, body autonomy and children's rights. I'm anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-fascism, anti-war, anti-colonialism, anti-zionism, anti-apartheid and all the antis that need to be called out in order to live in a compassionate and caring global society. I'm not religious, but I respect every person's right to practise what gives them peace, given that it does not disrespect the right of another to exist in peace and freedom.
