I’ll be staying in the home, my close friend/roommate is moving out May 15, so ideally looking for someone who can sublet mid-May to June, then transition into the new lease.

I’d like to prioritize Black and brown LGBTQ+ folks, professionals, and creatives (late 20s–early 30s or 40s preferred), but I’m open and looking for anyone who resonates with mutual respect, open communication, consideration, and good playful calm energy.

About me:
• Student graduating Fall 2026
• Active member in the music community of Durham as a DJ/Event Planner
• An aspiring Photographer + Videographer
• Enjoy outdoor adventures and travel, gaming, into film analysis, and bingeing some shows
• I also love exploring good food, cooking + baking, craft cocktails, concerts, and other local events
• Friendly but more social than everyday use
• Open to natural connections developing as roommates who share similar interests but also cool if you like to stay to yourself. (I like my moments of solitude too)
• In home, I usually show up in a way that “head to manage my heart”. It is not that I do not trust or like folks I live with, but I am not an emotionally driven or reactive person but often share in non-emotionally hijacking way which wires my brain to harmonize the logical and emotional sides of myself differently.

shoot me a message if this seems like a good fit for you and provide a little about yourself
