I’m a Portland-based mom of two girls, producer, artist, scholar, inventor, storyteller, and decolonizing methodologist. I’ve spent more than three decades creating, producing, and connecting people through music, art, culture, and ideas.

I began as a Portland club kid in the 1980s and became one of the city’s early rave producers and promoters. I hold a PhD from CIIS focused on Recovery of Indigenous Mind along with Indigenous Science and decolonizing methodologies, and I’m a patent holder and inventor.

Music remains a major part of my life. I produced an album by Portland artist Sheldon Ray, the soloist on Hand of God. I’ve attended every Jon Bellion show in Portland since 2014, when he was playing rooms of about 150 people. I have been blessed to get to know several friends through Jon over the years. At the heart of everything I do is the same impulse: bringing people, creativity, knowledge, ancestry, and possibility together.
