Equity & EqualityRace and Social Justice is a topic on the top of our minds at Fringe & Frolic Salon. We stand in support of Black Lives Matter and encourage folks to support our marginalized communities, especially our Trans POC community, whom are our most vulnerable. As a self identified queer business owner I understand how important it is to make representation in government equitable.
FUN STUFFHow would you describe yourself?
Creative, intuitive, calm yet energetic, an excellent conversationalist, community focused, and a fabulous sense of style. How do you self identify? Queer and I welcome all pronouns. How do you take care of yourself? Meditation and mindfulness helps me stay grounded especially though these difficult times. My yoga and pilates practice does an amazing job at keep my body working properly with the physical demands of this industry. Food is also another main component with my self-care, which is a highlight, since I'm a total food lover. |
