pronouns: they/them

words to describe your gender identity: I love the word "trans." For me as a nonbinary person who came out during a lot of backlash against nonbinary people, especially non-androgynous ones, affirming my and others' transness is really important to me.

words to describe your sexuality/romantic identity: I am proudly bisexual and polyamorous.

words to describe your race/ethnic/cultural identity: I'm half Czech, and being Slavic is a big part of my identity. I grew up really celebrating my heritage as a way of resisting assimilation and it laid out my path as a queer person at an early age.

favorite warm-up song: "No Gun" by Naomi Pilgrim and "Blaze Up" by Mai Lan always get me in the right headspace.

what does burlesque/erotic movement mean to you?: I'm someone with a lot of trauma around traditional exercise, and finding burlesque was just absolute freedom for me. Finding such an open-minded group of people to move with was life-changing and it gives me a lot of confidence.

what attracted you to being a part of our Troupe?: I love the idea of a group space that celebrates queerness and movement, and when I found out about ErotiQueer I knew I wanted to be part of it.
