My Story

I aim to make the world a more accepting place by giving audiences a glimpse into the minds and lives of others, hopefully helping them to better understand their fellow humans. Onstage, I act out characters with my own spins, which incorporate a degree of disability (by necessity: I need to use a mobility aid) and often a degree of queerness (by choice: my characters are usually transgender or not straight, or both). On paper, I write characters grappling with struggles that many of us go through, giving them identities that aren’t strictly cisgender heterosexual able-bodied people with an aim to show that there are threads that connect all of us. Showing the relatable nitty-gritty gives people a window through which to better understand each others’ differences. With everything happening on the nationwide scale right now, it's more important than ever; we have to be able to reach those around us, for the sake of everyone.

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Gay, Asexual

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

Transmasculine

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
