Hey y'all! I'm Marques and I am a classically-trained vocalist (read: opera singer), storyteller (pursuing maggidic ordination), writer, and ritualist; though I refer to myself as a "jewsician" for short. Much of my work focuses on the intersection of Queer, Black, and Jewish identities, and when I'm not doing that work, I daylight in tech as a product manager. I love cold brew coffee (and probably drink too much), the many stories of our tradition, and dogs...huskies and german shepherds in particular. I am thrilled to participate in the Institute this weekend and continuing on my path toward the rabbinate.
