My name is pronounced like the letter “k” and the word “me” in English. I participated in the DAAA as an Artist.

I am an immigrant settler of mixed heritage. I was born on the lands of the Pur’hépecha, the Coca, and the Tecuexe. I have ancestors from both north and central areas of what is colonially known as Mexico. Some of my known ancestors are from Japan as well. I spent most of my youth in Amiskwacîwâskahikan. I am now building my life on the ancestral territories of Xwməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səlilwətaɬ people and families.

I am a racially ambiguous short person with a higher-pitched voice, a soft fat body, and several tattoos. My hair is dark and buzzed short, often tucked under a hat. I wear large glasses with thick frames, bold earrings, and a septum piercing. The clothes I wear are usually oversized, with a nice drape or a sturdy structure.

I am a Disabled, bilingual, learner, worker and artist. My art practice incorporates creative access, reading, writing, weaving, printmaking, and more. My work and worldview have been shaped through my ongoing learning of Disability Justice, and Black Feminist theory. I am interested in anti-colonial research and learning, accessible spaces, and liberated futures.
