explore the caucasus

Some places find you. This one will change you.

welcome!

I am a neurodivergent Black American woman who found an unexpected home in the history, faith, and culture of the Caucasus.

What started as curiosity became transformation.

What became transformation became a mission.

Here I tell stories. Stories from one of the world's oldest, most resilient, and most overlooked regions — Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and beyond.

Stories about what happens when an outsider is received without condition. Stories about belonging, boldness, faith, and what it actually takes to build a life that fits the brain and the person you actually are.

This work exists for three reasons.

To make the Caucasus region known, respected, and recognized in the English-speaking world — not as a footnote, but as a source of genuine wisdom, culture, and faith worth learning from.

To be a reference point for neurodivergent people who are tired of searching for guidance that was never written for them. I'm building the resource I needed and couldn't find.

And to take seriously the invitation to seek God. Not as background noise. As the center.

If any part of that is what you came looking for — you are in the right place.
