I am from ballet recitals and scripted stapled papers, all of which resided in Youngstown, Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother used to tell me the world was my stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being from Northeast Ohio, quite frankly, sucked as a child who was eager to cartwheel across the ground she walked on. I felt like the world was not big enough for me, and for 18 years, it all felt like a suffocating amount of small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother not only was, but is, my best friend and my guide. I am from girls trips to get lemonade before tumbling and car rides with Taylor Swift blaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My father resided in Pittsburgh for a large portion of my life. I was carefully brought up in a mixture of Mahoning County and Pittsburgh city lighting. While I resided in Ohio more than Pennsylvania, I will always consider Pittsburgh to be home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom’s family all lived in Ohio, but my half-sisters and the rest on my fathers side lived in Louisiana. My dad raised them down south, and I spent a good part of my life taking road-trips to catch crawfish as well. I think that was the beginning of my hatred for seafood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One weekend with mom and the next with dad seemed like a lot for somebody so small, but I’m happy to say I grew up a little bit here, there, and everywhere. Understanding the meanings of multiple cultures and the way our world works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, where exactly am I from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soil where my hands have cartwheeled across the states. I’ve never ‘belonged’ anywhere. I am from dancing, traveling, and loving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All while making sure to give the world a little bit of sass along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
