Witchy Words


I study witchcraft as an act of resistance, survival, and healing. My Major Research Project, Strega: An Autoethnography, explores my relationship with my matriarchal lineage and how witchcraft connects grief, recovery, and ancestral strength. My work often plays with the idea of trinities; intertwining fairytale, feminism, and familial legacy. My creative prose piece, Three Little Witches, looks at breaking curses and nurturing the next generation of wild kittens and witchlets. Through these stories, I celebrate witchcraft as both rebellion and rebirth.
