ROX ETHERIDGE

Turning it all into purpose.
​
I am a gender non-conforming, queer, interracial orphan. I only now understand the complex consequences of what is called "relinquishment" trauma and can finally explore and unravel the effects of being separated from my lineage as an infant.
​
My unique life experiences and struggles for worthiness, acceptance, and opportunity have graced me with an empathetic and non-binary lens that helps me make space for myself, my family, and community members in need. I aspire to move from what is to what if - through daily shamanic practice, writing, weaving, and Circle-keeping. 
​
I look to the earth.
​
There is so much abundance, diversity, and beauty. Much to learn from our elders: the earth, plants, animals, and the entire ecosystem of which we are a part - these teachers are much older and wiser than any modern-day "experts."
​
Gathering all the pieces. 
​
When I look inward, I question all my formed beliefs while staying curious about you—ultimately making space for both as we navigate this mystery.
​
A creator.
​
I live alongside courageous and authentic people and have gathered many gifts while surviving the most toxic environments. I believe that creation emerges from destruction; the only thing we can truly rely on is change.
