We can co- create the world that we want to live in. It’s possible with radical imagination and strategic, deliberate action. I’ve always sought to design my life rather than living by default. I am grateful for the privilege that has afforded me this choice. I have never believed that just because something is a certain way, that that is the way it has to be. I know and understand my power, in collaboration with my community and ancestry, to shape my inner and outer worlds.
This has been a guiding light for me fuelling an interest in holistic health, creative arts, social justice movements, entrepreneurship and education.
I entered legal practice because I believed that that was the best way for me to make a difference in the world. I was always inspired by the idea of bridging the gap between what people have and what they are entitled to. I saw constitutional law as a vehicle to social transformation. I learnt that what I wanted was justice and that there is a difference between law and justice.
I also learnt that how we practice our professions makes it incredibly difficult to maintain physical and emotional health. In the last few years of teaching and practicing yoga, it has become clearer to me that we have to find ways to grow and develop that do not sacrifice our wellbeing.
I have learned that when we do the inner work we have the capacity to do the outer work. I want to support people to do the inner work. This is why I love teaching yoga and holding space for people to feel, heal and deal.
