After being asked where she wants to spend the last moments of her unusually-long life, a woman who, finding roots in different parts of the world can’t fathom a geographical “home”, decides her last one-way trip shall be to Outer Space.

Lita (she/her) is a writer / performer, a part-time teacher and a full-time anxious artist. Lita created this spoken word piece about her journey to a diagnosis with Endometriosis, and the influx of anxiety and depression she experienced during that time. Endometriosis is a complex, whole body, chronic illness that affects 1 in 10 people with uteruses. Lita hopes that this piece will resonate with anyone who has had to fight with their health alone.
