Run group plays a big role in helping to decompress from the binary systems imposed on athletes – you go to run group, you catch up with your friends, you find out who's dating, you you talk about other things.

For my job, I'm a singer, and a writer, and I feel like I get to channel a lot of the conversations that I'm having in this space into writing – these questions and moments that are coming up about internalized policing of the self, or how we show up for each other in community, even if we've never met before, and how we advocate.

Those are things that I carry when I sit with my notebook, or sit at the piano. I get to write out those feelings as art, and think about what that actually means in the scope of everyday life and living as a connected person in this world.

The effect that these anti-trans sports barriers have never really leaves me. But I do transform the energy from one that's more activated in how "I got to do something about this" to one that's more reflective in "What can I make or take from this situation?"
