My name is Isadore (he/she) I am a mixed qtpoc artist yearning to return home. My spirit guides and ancestors are calling me back to the land where I was born and raised- Unceded Yuhaaviatam Territory aka Running Springs, a small mountain town in Southern California. I want to return home to be closer to family, to heal parts of my childhood, and to reconnect with the land that sprouted and grew me. I have been on a journey of recovery from alcoholism for the last year and a half, this returning home is deeply entwined with my sobriety process of amending the past, tending to the present, and building a more healthy, loving, connective, and expansive future.

I recognize that so many of us are struggling to survive in this crumbling empire and amidst the endless atrocities that the powers that be insist on amplifying. I believe that redistribution of wealth and non monetary resources is an integral practice essential to all of our communal wellness and stability. If you have the means to support this journey of mine, I am grateful. If you don’t, thank you for taking the time to read my words, & please pass along my page to anyone who you think might be interested in it. If you are not already, I encourage you to contribute to the wellness & stability of black, indigenous, trans & queer people!

Any funds that exceed my needs will be redistributed.
