My name is Olivia(she/they), I live in Northern California, and I am a single mom. I have two dogs and I identify as queer. I have three daughters and two of them have nonverbal Autism. I support my family on my own and work hard to create a safe, fun, and stimulating environment for them. I was a dancer for most of my childhood and loved expressing myself through art. I struggled to fit in and spent time with myself and my imagination. I am a dreamer. I like to create something from nothing and get most of my gratification in helping others. This has lead me to many opportunities that resulted in both positive and negative outcomes. I have been a victim of abuse, I have been down dark paths, and I have self harmed at times. I have also done the work, grown, and discovered myself again anew. I want to share my perspective and stories with the people who are open to receiving them and build a community around art and mutual interests.
