Ezri Reyes
I am Ezri Reyes (she/he/they), a 22 year old Filipinx American fresh out of college with a degree in theatre, and I am currently popping some ibuprofen to ease my wisdom teeth extraction (and growing) pains. Regardless, I am always dizzy, bouncing and igniting, silently spiraling in a Jeremy Bearimy, all while practicing to love myself like a good friend. Like the persimmon tree that was planted in my backyard when I was born, I learned to grow in the seasons of east side San Jose where my home and loved ones nurtured me. There, my passions bloomed from rigorous training in martial arts and music, and in Portland, they specified into musings of poetry and performance. I am delighted to surrender to the experiences that await with this cohort.
