Personal Manifesto

by someone who has rebuilt, reimagined, and recommitted to herself.

I believe reinvention is not failure.
It's evolution.
It’s knowing when to walk away from what no longer fits no matter how long I held onto it, how much it cost, or who it pleased.

I’ve lived many lives:
As a third culture kid, growing up between continents: at home everywhere and nowhere.
As a strategist in the chaos of US politics.
As a builder in the clarity of tech.
As a partner. As a woman who left.

I’ve known privilege: rooms of excess, access, and ease.
But what shaped me most were the in-between spaces: the unexpected conversations, the people whose lives didn’t follow a script.
Those experiences gave me a different lens.
I didn’t fit the mold, even when I had the passport for it.

I won’t claim I know everything
But I’ve learned that asking the right questions matters more than having the perfect answers.
Questions like: Which systems serve us? And which ones cage us?
What does freedom look like when I stop performing someone else’s idea of a good life?

I write. I build.
I carry stories, contradictions, and hard-won clarity in my body.
I’m done shrinking to fit.
I’m more interested in what happens when women tell the truth — not just about the world, but about ourselves.

I move with voice.
With clarity.
With fire.

I’m not here to impress.
I’m here to connect with those who’ve lost things they thought they couldn’t live without, and still found a way forward.
Still building.
Still soft.
Still brave.
