“Teasturbed” was a multidimensional community gathering project I founded in Seattle, aiming to create communal support for new mothers struggling with postpartum anxiety, based on my own two times experience of the ailment. The project was supported by the patrons who purchased the Teasturbed tea blends, keeping the healing sessions accessible and free for all. As I moved to Austin in 2023, Teasturbed project has been dormant, but I’m in the process transforming the project into something new for 2026. The new project, while staying on the subject of communal healing, will differ completely from the original concept.

“HipHop without Borders” is a music workshop for the youth that I established in 2018 after moving to the U.S. as a new immigrant. Originally planned for the visually impaired kids and then expanded to ESL students, at the heart of this workshop lies the goal of empowering children from all walks of life an intro to creative tools to overcome barriers to self-expression.
