I abhor the way adulthood translates into an exclusion of sorts; the divisions it creates, even more lucidly than in childhood – separations along economic status, job title, gender, religion, and sexuality. We all merely exist in a small bubble, desperately terrified to break through conformity.

Mother, wife, sister, friend, writer / blogger / creative organizer, budding photographer... These are just a few of the many hats I juggle each day. I believe creativity is oxygen for the soul. I created Live In Color blog to celebrate the beauty in every moment, from faith to inspiration and motherhood.And it is soon becoming Pray with Our Feet blog which will focus on the intersection of faith and activism.
