AUTHOR Bio
“The first time I heard the folklore of Shine and the Titanic, I learned that history could have rhythm, nerve and teeth. I may never reach that level of lore, but I can give you something just as pure.”
MY BLOGS
TWO BLOGS. TWO DISTINCT POINTS OF VIEW.
PEPPER SAINT CLAIR
Pepper Saint Clair is my well-dressed alter ego, watching the world over her glasses and documenting everything people hoped she wouldn’t notice.
Pepper’s world blends Black history, travel, cocktails and unapologetic side-eye—because somebody has to keep the record properly.
ESCAPING THE L'ORANGE ERA
Escaping the L’Orange Era is me being an asshole—but an informed asshole.
I document the political absurdity, explain what the hell is actually happening and explore the many ways we can expand our minds, rebuild our lives and protect our souls.
Escape is not always a country. Sometimes it is a job, a mindset, a system or the version of yourself that has overstayed its welcome.
SUMI NOIR
SUMINOIR — A PRIVATE SOUND MADE PUBLIC
I am not presenting myself as a musician, vocalist or singer. I played the flute for years, so I know the sounds I like—and I still hear music in my head that I rarely hear anywhere else. SUMI NOIR is where I create those sounds for myself: calm, atmospheric music for breathing, thinking and being still. I decided to share it in case somebody else needed to hear it too.
