What Makes You Proud To Be A Stray?
Representation is incredibly important to me. Whether it's body types, race, or gender identities. I'm proud to perform in a space and be apart of a group where that is always at the forefront. If nothing of value is gained from my acts beyond allowing those who identify similarly to I to feel seen, or even inspired, then I am fulfilled. It's also warms my heart to have the opportunity to explore a creative outlet with a group of people that are so genuine, so loving, and so quick to uplift those around them. These people are more than just my troupe, they're my friends. And I feel so lucky and blessed to share not only the stage, but this whole wild chapter of my life with each and every one of them.
