Everybody eats

Everybody Eats explores food as a site of confrontation, care, and collective survival. Spaces where food is prepared, shared, and consumed are places of physical, emotional, and spiritual reckoning—shaped by long histories of exploitation, extraction, and appropriation.

By centering the labor that sustains everyday life, the project asks how food spaces can challenge individualism, racialized ideas of value, and narrow definitions of what kinds of work matter, while pointing toward more collective and liberatory ways of living.

radical listening

Radical Listening begins in a hospital room, where I interpreted between English and Spanish for my mother when I was nine years old. From that moment, the project unfolds as a series of sonic invitations that ask us to rethink our relationship to language.

Rooted in lived experience, the work explores listening as ritual, care, and healing—an ongoing practice shaped by language justice and community-based work.

space is the place

Space Is the Place traces my journey as a cultural organizer, educator, and language worker. The project reflects on my experiences working with communities in Koreatown and Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, where I examined how labor, power, and culture shape the spaces people live and organize in.

It connects that work to my ongoing practice in Houston at the intersection of language and spatial justice, exploring how organizing, education, and translation shape place—and how place, in turn, shapes collective life and belonging.
