Why I Built This Site?

I’ve always said it: Beneath The Tracksuit there’s more going on than most people see.
Books, spoken word, advocacy, these are the pillars that hold me up, and this site is where they finally come together in one place.
I built this space for three reasons:
1. To tell the story properly.
Social media is fast, messy, and gone tomorrow. Here, I can share the raw truth, the poems, the process, the pieces of life with MS that don’t fit into a 60-second video.
2. To build a home.
This isn’t just my corner of the internet. It’s a base for everyone who connects with the words, the fight, and the journey. A place where we don’t have to pretend we’re fine if we’re not.
3. To grow bigger.
From poetry, books to spoken word to advocacy, this is just the start. There are projects, shows, and collaborations ahead and now there’s a foundation to build on.
From broken pieces, I’ve shaped a story worth sharing.
This site is the next step in that story.
Welcome to Beneath The Tracksuit.
You’re part of this movement now and it’s only just beginning.
