Oliver Moody (she/siya) traces her roots of healing to sea-faring ancestors, descending from the land where the sun first rises. She tends to the collective as a Filipinx poet, writer, and documentary filmmaker. As the first-generation born in the San Joaquin Valley of California her stories are steeped in carrying the memories of land and sea across vast distances. Understanding and unpacking her own trauma informs her work as a non-binary creator. A fierce command of foreign languages and mean kitchen skills ensure that Oliver is always among supportive allies and friends as she navigates the act of showing up for the healing.
