About the roomies
About me: • 34, Black trans-masculine • Student graduating Fall 2026 / Interning with the State of NC • Active member in the music community of Durham as a DJ/Event Planner • An aspiring Photographer + Videographer • Enjoy outdoor adventures and travel, gaming, into film analysis, and bingeing some shows • I also love exploring good food, cooking + baking, craft cocktails, concerts, and other local events • 420 Friendly but more social than everyday use • Open to natural connections developing as roommates who share similar interests but also cool if you like to stay to yourself. (I like my moments of solitude too) • In home, I usually show up in a way that “head to manage my heart”. It is not that I do not trust or like folks I live with, but I am not an emotionally driven or reactive person but often share in non-emotionally hijacking way which wires my brain to harmonize the logical and emotional sides of myself differently.
