My mother gave birth to me in a cabin in Rappahannock County. She is an herbalist horse whisperer and my late father was a musical carpenter. In my early childhood, we traveled the west in a silver airstream, with 2 dogs and a cat. We returned home to have my sister in Rappahannock. My sister and I grew up on horseback herding goats by day, dancing on full moon nights, and swimming in the crystal blue springs of Old Rag Mountain whenever the water beckoned.
I did not attend a βtraditionalβ school until I was fifteen, and would go on to graduate with distinction from the University of Virginia with a degree in Anthropology and Linguistics.
