Hello, I am Joki. I am deaf and I am gay.
Please read to see if we are a good fit.
I specialize in LGBTQ+ topics.

I think more existentially than a lot of people. I viscerally understand discrimination, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and trying to find one's purpose. I am a very open person and converse in an extremely wide variety of topics. Chemical/Alcohol topics I have very little experience in.

I am HIV Equal - I do not subscribe to the stigma surrounding it,
nor any other stigma.

We are all a collection of stories, experiences, defeats and triumphs - we are not nouns, verbs or adjectives. We are all judged based on ridiculous criteria. Our society/culture does very little to help this and instills in us ideas that are not who we are.

I love food. Food, to me, is what Music is to hearing people. Every spice, flavor, ingredient is a melody and every meal is a symphony. Even though I am deaf, I understand the power of music and how art can change lives.

You are loved (even if you are unable to see it, feel it, or believe it).
Out of 7 Billion people, there is someone on this planet
that cherishes you above and beyond everything else.
Allow them to find you, to see you, to show you.

You are not alone.
