Raw and unapologetic. This is a place where I can speak truths without being polite. Lightsheen (subsea sheen) is discovering a crawlspace in this chaotic world, attempting to find space in the modern media obsession and the obsession of female body, highlighting the necessity of “Say his, her, their name” Black lives matter, learning a new language that is not English, brother surviving addiction, loss of friends and an engagement, growing old in a world that hasn’t seen your female body, and finding love.
