Q & A
… DOT who … ?
A: Dot is anything but the 16-year-old me getting called gay by their friends. It’s taking ownership of my queerness – not apologizing for one bit of it.

Dot is giving myself the option to edit the way people see and treat me. It’s saying, “I honestly haven’t really changed all that much, it’s just a name and a new set of pronouns. So what?” It’s flexibility, self-love, and trust. And sometimes Dot is a great opportunity for a pun… To hear more about my recent name change, the importance of assumptions, and my path to identifying as agender/non-binary, listen to my full interview HERE.
