About me
I'm a Durham native who left for a while, did the New York thing, got over it, and came home. It's a different Durham from the one I grew up in, but I loved it then and I love it now.
I'm a working mom who constantly feels mediocre, and I'm getting really comfortable with that. My house is a mess and screens are on a lot, but I'm getting it done the best way I can.
I'm an artist at heart who gave it up for a while to be a corporate lawyer. Returning to Durham has brought me back to art. It's my "side hustle," but also my favorite hustle (shh, don't tell my boss.)

About Durham AF
I'm assuming most of you know what Durham "AF" means. If you don't, Google it. I didn't choose this name to offend anyone, so I really hope it doesn't. As a borderline millennial who thinks I'm cool, I got a kick out of using a trendy term, but there was more to it than that. These days, I think of "Durham" as not just the name of a place, but an adjective. "Durham" means something to me. Durham is unapologetically real. It's an evolving place, but one that embraces its imperfections, and especially its imperfect past. Durham take pride in being called "dirty." So to me, saying "Durham AF" means something that is emphatically all of these things. It's something that I aspire to.
