My name is Alana Mari (she/they) aka tamagoshawty.
I’m a city girl from the unceded territory of the Yelamu, a local tribe of Ramaytush Ohlone peoples, aka San Francisco.

I love love.

One of my closest friends would say I'm corny —which may be true— but I firmly believe our love is interconnected in this world.

I believe it is important to channel your love into some form of expression, action, creation. For me, that is Pride Cat, writing love letters, cooking and storytelling.

My hope in sharing my expressions of love is to connect and feel the shared love and gratitude

Thank you for being here.
