Talking is fun.
And over the years I’ve been lucky to have been asked to speak about different topics including craftivism, radical craft, subversive textiles, feminism + resilience and finding your voice. Through sharing images of craftwork being done presently and in the past, I like harnessing how you can use that power of agency that making gives to find, tweak and create your unique identity.
Via a lens of my own story, which includes finding resilience and finding my way home to my own voice and joy, it is my greatest hope that I can help others see how their voice matters and how they can take from the past and present to create and empower their own future.
