On the last day of the Israel Gay Youth World LGBTQ Youth Leaders Summit, I went to the Tel-Aviv beach to reflect on the Mediterranean, to speak to the waters of my findings while in Israel December 4th - 10th.

Here: Trusting your dreaming. All of a people is not its government. Systems of oppression separate us from our stories--the intersection of them. Homecoming. Being in the margins. Politicized bodies. Embodying history. Loving wildly.

I am speaking to a very dear friend. Thought it might be better speaking then typing it out a few days removed. I took a video, unscripted, to preserve the honesty of the moment. My gift to you is this intimacy.
