Let's craft joy and liberation through fiber.
Since I was a child, I've always returned to fiber arts to get myself in the right relationship with the Earth and fellow Earthlings. I would love to help you capture or recapture the same gift through a pattern or group or individual lesson so you can join the global circle of crocheters and fiber artists.
Hey y'all, I'm Kristen!
I’m, a Greensboro, NC born, DC based queer Black femme-presenting, busyish, transit-adjacent possibility model for Black folks who are at least queer-affirming if not queer themselves to make their own clothing, home decor and other art and crafty things to reclaim ancestral knowledge and power and nurture the planet.
I mostly crochet, but I also embroider, sew, weave, surface print/graphic design, and demand that spaces and places of all kind are pro-Black, economically just and work with, not against, our natural resources. I also teach crochet and mentor budding Black queer designers and change makers. Here you'll find my craft work, but if you're interested in my urbanist newsletter and advocacy, subscribe to it via Substack or purchase some items from our The Black Urbanist collection.
