about auntie catherine
As an award-winning author and screenwriter, I have used storytelling and artmaking as a tool for transformation for decades. I have been honoured to work with communities ranging from youth affected by war to LGBTQ2S folks
struggling with their mental health; activists suffering from
burnout to educators suffering from creative stagnation.
In this time of profound collective grief due to environmental collapse and the rise of fascism, I have been called to be a Death and Grief Doula. Under the tutelage of
Kelly Butler's Advanced Practice Doula Program, I am now using my skills in writing, play, illustration, movement to help tend to the heart-wounds of others and guide them in processing their loss.
I am proud to be a Filipinx diasporic queer femme who is married into the Navajo nation. I aim to create space that is pro-Black, pro-Indigenous, pro-Palestine, anti-colonial and inclusive to all bodies and abilities.
