I design talks, workshops, and public conversations about the cultural systems that shape how we are seen and how we come to see ourselves.
With my expertise in topics like the politics of racial classification, advertising, adornment, and creative authority, I bring cultural anthropology into conversation with everyday life.
what I speak about
Race & Consumer Culture
Racial classification, consumer culture, advertising, and the systems that measure and monetize identity.
Identity & Adornment
Nameplate jewelry and the cultural politics of adornment (with Isabel Flower).

External validation, creative courage, and the lifelong process of trusting one’s own authority.

There's a real person on the other end of this — hi, it's me. :) I read everything that comes through and write back, usually within a few days. No bots, no auto-reply into the void.
