In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
Nature is my main source of inspiration; its care and understanding are the reason why I write.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
Peace, healing, belonging and responsibility. It reminds me that true well-being as an individual can only be found through caring for the community that surrounds me.
