Gerard Miller is a Black, non-binary, queer community educator & aspiring Ancestor. They are a child of Baltimore with deep roots in the Mid-Atlantic watersheds of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, on a journey to reclaim their legacy as a Sacred Other.
Central to Gerard’s vision is amplifying the voices and experiences of the most marginalized folx in society, reflecting their own African and Indigenous heritage as well as their queer identity. Working with plant medicine, birthwork, movement, and storykeeping/-telling; they hope to integrate the parts of the 7-pointed star: the World Above, the World Beneath, the World Around Us, and the World Within.

Crystal Lounge by Crystallography Gems respectfully acknowledges the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Duwamish Tribe & Coast Salish people, all of their ancestors, and descendants.
This land is Indigenous and was colonized through the use of interlocking systems of dominance: white supremacy, imperialism, capitalism, and patriarchy. It is our collective responsibility to support Indigenous people, culture, and rights, thereby honoring, protecting, and sustaining this land. We strive toward including and honoring decolonized knowledge and traditions.
