Olivia Mercedes (she/her) is a perpetually overwhelmed human who happens to also be queer and latina. She engages in an array of creative practices in order to process the intensity of her conscious experience. Her artwork has been exhibited, her poetry has been published, her voice has been awarded, but her most beloved accolades are the moments of real-life connection in response to her authenticity. She finds hope in inspiring someone to feel & heal, to question & learn, to express & create, and ultimately to be more fully human.
