Personal Values

I am a Black queer nonbinary person. I center my personal values around empathy and compassion for all living beings. (Except wasps. I doubt even Lucifer likes wasps.)

What’s more, my intersectionalities and personal values are inseparable from what I do for a living as a story coach, developmental editor, and line/copyeditor. I infuse my personal values into my business as much as I do my life outside of being a business owner.

More importantly, these intersectionalities and personal values are inseparable from how I move through the world as a human. They touch every interaction, every thought, every sense internally and externally.

For your convenience, I provide my personal values below. Read through them carefully. Be sure you understand the depth of their power within my life.

I take some of my personal values from international documents or organizations for peace, equality, and justice, and they will be acknowledged as such.

I do not allow my values and boundaries to be violated.
