“…it is a grave responsibility projected from within each of us not to settle for the convenient the shoddy, the conventionally accepted, nor the merely safe.” - Audre Lorde
I am a tinkerer; and as a hybrid not unfamiliar with joining things that seem impossible; I’m comfortable in paradox, and learn best when my whole body is busy. Learn more about my Writing/Performing/Drawing and Social Midwifery.
Birth: Boulder but grew up in Longmont, Colorado where many family members were also born and raised. Born and gave birth the old fashioned way.
Bonding: An important priority in my life. Los Luseros and my extended family. Coparents Allison, Geoffrey and Mark and our two beloved kids Zian and Eliot. Edith. The Sugar, Haley-Ratazzi, Sarchet, and Barwig families. The midwives of my children Flame, Elizabeth, and Kathryn. And many people who across time and space help make up my extended family: Lin, Maggie, Deanne, Beth, Angela, Eneri, Jordan, Seth, Lupe, Mimi, Rosa, Isabel….
Death: Gratitude to my ancestors including Jose Florencio Lusero, Rosa Valdez Lusero, Julian Paris, Ruth Brown, John Eliot Rice, Florence Flowers, Fredrick Sherman, Bertha Connel, John Rice Jr., Jimmy Lusero, Bob Boyanovsky. Spiritualists, Penitentes, Scotts, indios, Catholics, Jews, Masons and Spaniards among them. And spiritual ancestors like Audre Lorde, Rumi, Jim Henson. I plan to die the old fashioned way too.
