Hello Readers!
My name is J Lee and I currently reside in New York. I'm a freelance writer and artist, which is exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up. There is so much out in the world that interests me, and I love writing about those fun topics.
I'm an avid martial artist, currently I hold a 2nd degree black belt in karate, as well as being a student of Aiki Judo and Kenjutsu. This has made me very health conscious, and many of my articles are about such themes. I've been a vegetarian for years, and can proudly say that it has been one of the greatest things I have ever done for my health.
Additionally, I am intrigued with the whole concept of gender. While I'm not a big fan of terms and generalizations, I'm what most would call a tomboy, FTM, androgynous, or genderqueer, depending on the day. I know there are not a ton of resources out there for alternative gendered people, so I love creating my own through writing.
I have two amazing writing partners: my chihuahuas. These little dogs help keep things in perspective for me while providing plenty of entertainment. It is vitally important to take good care of them, and I have shared this information in my writing as well. I've had dogs all my life, and cannot imagine ever living without them.
