Who I am

& Why I’m Here

July 30, 2025, Dublin, Ireland

I’m the creator of Documented Healing: a living, breathing project that reclaims power through story, presence, and the weight of being witnessed.

Right now, I’m in Dublin, Ireland tracing my father’s side of the family. This trip is part pilgrimage, part protest, part deep remembering. I’ve been walking the streets that shaped the culture he was raised to forget, and feeling into what I was never meant to know.

The mural in these photos stopped me in my tracks: “Caution: Women at Work.” Surrounded by the faces of Irish women writers who were silenced, censored, or erased. This is the lineage I claim now — not just genetically, but spiritually.

Tomorrow, I’ll be honoring Sinead O’Connor by visiting her mural and her grave. She, too, was a woman who told the truth and paid the price for it.

This journey is not just about roots. It’s about revolt, reconnection, and reclaiming the stories I carry in my body.

Stay with me.
