About Me

Hi, I’m Lindsey.

You may remember me from various jobs, schools, and projects over the years. I invite you to take a look into my world. I want to tell my story and show people that they are not alone when they are going through difficult times.

I’ve encountered numerous interruptions over the years - some small and insignificant, others mildly annoying, and even those life-shattering events that are no longer an interruption but a new way of life. I hope what I share is something that helps you understand how the events in my life have shaped me. My lived experience is not uncommon, however the discussion it can bring should be elevated. My lived experience has not been easy, and maybe if I speak up someone else won’t have to endure the hardship and trauma that I went through.

My lived experience has shaped every belief I stand behind. The intersection between the difficulties I faced and the systemic policies & practices behind them has led me to challenging the status quo. I encourage productive discussion with intent to honestly be open to hearing another person’s experience. I will not entertain hate. Just to be clear the following are not political issues, they are human rights issues:

  • Black Lives Matter

  • Women’s Rights

  • Disability Rights

  • LGBTQ+ Rights

  • Free Palestine

  • Climate Change

  • Education

  • Universal Healthcare

I didn’t follow politics closely until much later in my life. I was someone who identified as a Republican because that’s how my family voted. My family has a long history of being Republicans (the night before my grandmother died she shook her finger at me and exclaimed “Shame on you for being a democrat!” I didn’t have the heart to tell her I’m not a democrat - I’m a leftist - but more on that another day!) so being young and naïve, I didn’t question their viewpoints and adopted them as my own. One by one, I deconstructed beliefs that upheld the patriarchy, oppressed the masses, and allowed unchecked profits.

To escape, I often spend time doing crafts, reading, playing with my cats, and re-watching my comfort shows - Gilmore Girls and The Office. I’ve become quite crafty over the years and have made some really cool things. One of my favorite things to do is nail art. Over the past year my skills have really improved. Being creative is so healing.

I look forward to sharing the journey to deconstructing the hold that many beliefs had over me, while enjoying the parts of life that make it worth living.
