​
I was conditioned to believe I wasn't valuable because of who I am and what I was born with or without.
​
By relating to difference I saw my love & humanity in others
By taking responsibility for myself I found my power
By honoring my sovereignty I found my way
By honoring my being I found belonging
​
​
I am shiny & sovereign AF y'all.
​
And I want you to Shine With Me
That's why I started Defiance Exchange!
