31 days til my 31st birthday!




For my birthday this year I’m asking you to celebrate with me by supporting my joy, my work and my communities. Each day I’ll be sharing one simple thing that you can do to support me in each of these areas.


My hope is that this will give those of you who have been wanting to pour into me explicit ways that you can do that. I’m also excited to take this as an opportunity to reintroduce myself. I’ve lived most of my life cycling between realities, between communities that rarely overlapped. Now for the first time my communities are coming into contact with each other. Each point of contact reveals more about who I am and how I move through the world. I hope that you will join me and I look forward to getting to know more about each of you.

2 the gold words “31 to 31” hover above a gold orb in the same scripted font as before. White words on the orb read: “ I will turn 31 on March 17. For the next 31 days I will be sharing ways that you can support me:”


3 the gold words “31 to 31” hover at the top of the page in the same scripted font as before. Below bright white glowing letters fade into view. They read : “support my joy!” Those words fade and are replaced by: “ support my work!” Those words fade and are replaced by “support my communities!” In the background tiny white lights sparkle in and out of view.


5 the gold words “31 to 31” hover at the top of the page in the same scripted font as before. At the center of the page os a circular image of me mid laugh. My mouth is open as if I am roaring my joy—and I am! My eyes are lost in the folds of smile lines.A curtain of small delicate Goldberg’s rests across my face. A white blazer is perched on my shoulders, a golden scarf encircles my neck and both accessories pop on the black of my button down. Golden beaded bracelets cuff my wrists. the knees of my black white polka dotted pants are just visible in the frame
