iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

New Taste This just dropped, and this one’s got a recipe. Quick note: recipes in the newsletter come first. No backstory, no scroll marathon—just straight to the food. Then we chat, like I just handed you a slice and we’re hanging in the kitchen. 🍰 The link’s up in the bio. #queerfood #queerjoy

First official post for Taste This is live! I'm laying it all out, honest about the point of this newsletter and where I fit within the food space and queer activism.

"Potluck Desserts" is available for preorder! I wrote this book for my Queer, Trans, and Ally community—for those of us who have found home and chosen family around a table, in a kitchen, in a plate of something made with love, and for those still rewriting their narrative. Link in bio
