Hi, I’m Crystal!

I’m a writer, performer, dreamer, and modern-day griot. I believe the arts aren’t just entertainment—they’re a revolutionary tool. Whether I’m on stage delivering spoken word or designing experiences rooted in healing and truth-telling, my mission is simple: help people gather themselves through the power of story.

“And for those of us from communities with historic collective trauma, we must understand that each of us is already science fiction walking aroun2qd on two legs. Our ancestors dreamed us up and then bent reality to create us.”
