On Sunday I shared at Praxis + Liberation, a.k.a. Candor/Praxis, a nourishing convening curated by Char Lee, where I read alongside the inimitable writers Ada Cheng and Maya Marshall. The invitation to "celebrate honesty as a practice of liberation"—especially in the company of these particular creatives and other attendees—felt like an incredible honor.

This event was presented in conversation with Zehra Khan’s exhibition, Fakeries, at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, an artist-run space housed within Mana Contemporary.

I read a fiction excerpt and performed a fiction song.
