My respect knows no boundaries for the ancient ancestors, and the elders past and present. I know I reside and work upon stolen land, so I always intend to tread softly and speak truthfully.

ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ABORIGINAL LAND.

Forever thankful to those who came before me and am aware of those coming after me, which is why I aspire to inspire.
