Past projects & offerings
Shapeshifting: A Practical Guide
For my Harvard thesis, I developed a practice I call “shapeshifting”: a way of feeling into kinship with the wider world by playing with the boundary between self and other. I continue to offer shapeshifting workshops sporadically.

Malka Red
From 2015–2018, I performed as a rapper under the name Malka Red. My music video “Boy Booty,” a satire of the endless songs about women’s bodies, circulated widely in queer nightlife spaces and became a club favorite.

Compost Manifesto(s)
At Harvard, I wrote extensively about compost: how working with decomposition can return us to cycles of bloom and decay, and how compost might teach a new ethic of belonging.
Buddhism & Psychedelics
A talk given at Burning Refuge, a Harvard conference, exploring how psychedelics, in the right contexts, might support the Buddhist project of awakening.
Kinship & Kithship
A workshop offered at Belonging, a Harvard Divinity School conference, exploring kinship, ecology, embodiment, and relationship with the more-than-human world.
Current writing
Fig — novel in progress
A mythic novel-in-progress about a world where Self-Love and Other-Love are strict religions — and about women trying to live, love, make art, and find freedom inside them.
