My writing explores the intersection of lived experience and systemic change. These are the core themes of my work:
Appearance Justice: Investigating the structural drivers of appearance-based inequality.

Psychosocial Reconstruction: Frameworks for moving from being socially managed to becoming self-possessed.
Technology & Identity: Examining the impact of AI and digital systems on human dignity.

Notes from the Path (The Substack)
This is my primary space for unfiltered, ongoing reflections. It is a quiet return to self, written from the grit of the real.
"A quiet return to self. Notes on shedding performance, embracing the second half of life, and reclaiming dignity, written from the lived experience of a woman walking the path of presence."
