I'm a Black, queer-trans nonbinary, emerging Jew, coming from Islam. This page is a landing space for the art generated from my transition, the many varieties of trans-indigenous medicine embedded in Torah, and my passion for becoming one who is an expert at carrying it. Thank you so much for being with me.
