Hello there, I’m Amanda.

English pronouns: they/any | Vietnamese pronouns: em/chị/anh/chanh

My own lived experiences with cycles of trauma and healing bring me to this work, particularly at the intersections of care and justice. I’m a slow-moving artist, archivist, writer, decomposer, yin wood pig, Pisces moon, Leo sun, and Leo rising; I love playing video games, puzzling, and eating soup; and I’m a voracious and sociopolitically critical manga reader and anime watcher. I rely on many beloved humans, routines, rituals, and special interests to support me. One of my dreams is to study Vietnamese herbalism.

I tend a slow, lifelong practice of composting sickness, grief, and Madness into collective possibility. I offer presence, solidarity, stories, skills, and questions, passing along wisdom that sustains me in the hopes that it may serve you and your loved ones well.
