As a little girl, I knew that religion wasn't quite the right fit, but I knew atheism was far from perfect for me. Over the years, I sat in churches and mosques, even considered being agnostic, and even watched my college roommate convert to Judaism. All in all, I watched others find their footing in faith while eagerly searching for my own.

After years of searching, I finally heard my ancestors' declaration as a whisper directing me to a path perfectly and divinely aligned. My lifelong journey of enriching self-discovery has led me to create Strange Crown—a community of people finding their footing and, in turn, finding their humanity in a world that would rather snatch it away.
