Whether channeling a poem on stage or channeling Reiki in a healing session, I live for the moments when the supposed boundaries between self and non-self start to dissolve. I delight in the shared sensations, impressions, shivers, tears, giggles, and breath that remind us we’re not so different or separate after all.

I've been living with multiple sclerosis since 2022 and know firsthand just how much our bodies, hearts, and minds, can heal when we pair ancient medical wisdom with modern medical science. I revere and believe in both—they’re better together.

I practice under the name lili jade which is an ongoing tribute to my ancestors and heritage. If you want to learn more about me, you can watch my poetry performances, read my journal entries, or follow my path as it unfolds.

Thanks for being here!
