About the author.
Roxane has spent her life exploring communities around the world, travelling to 60+ countries. Her career has been anything but conventional working on Congolese police reform, Iraq counterterrorism, and women’s rights in Africa. Disillusioned with our disconnected societies, she had an aha moment during her first Burning Man sunrise. She became fascinated with how Burning Man manifests across cultures, eventually embarking on a yearlong round-the-world tour of seven Burns to find out. She worked throughout, alternating between suits and tutus while trying to stay sane. A lover of imaginary worlds as a child, she could be found writing poems in class hoping one day her words might inspire others. She typically spends a quarter of the burn rummaging for *insert missing object* in her tent/ bag and the rest lost on solo missions.
