I’d like to acknowledge the places and spaces that held myself and others for thousands of years. I’d like to bring in the presence of the lands that first revealed a sense of belonging for me, land of the Monacan Indian Nation in the western part of Virginia. Their home for 10,00 years nestled between the Rappahannock and James Rivers. And I’d like to bring in this land that has held me through this most recent chapter of my existence, land of the Cowlitz and the Clackamas in Southeast Portland. With immense gratitude, I honor them as the past, present, and future stewards of these lands.

For my part in occupying these lands, I dedicate a portion of my monthly profits to two incredible Native-led organizations. Please read more about them on my Community Solidarity page. It's not much, but it's a start.
