Scholar, teacher, and creative. Creating tools for integrating neurodivergence as a culture, and for growing beyond masking by developing Communication Sovereignty.
For 10+ years I facilitated communication across different languages (and cultures). I also designed systems, managed language access services, and thought systemically about communication.
Today, I write and teach about integrating neurodivergence as a culture. I also help high-masking, heart-centered neurodivergent professionals grow beyond masking and become more confident + skillfull + embodied communicators.
An M.A. with an emphasis on pragmatics and politeness theory.
Cultural awareness skills, and the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity.
Trained in several areas of interpretation, and an experienced trainer of interpreters of 20+ languages.
40+ years of lived experience as a neurodivergent woman and mother.
Rob Hopkins' work around developing imagination skills to envision better systems and futures.
Magical realism, sci-fi, futurist, and punk literature and media.
"We cannot live securely in a world which is not our own, in a world which is interpreted for us by others.
Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to put our ears to our own inner voices, to see our own light, which is our birthright, and comes to us in silence."
