I started my Swamp Witch Facebook page as a cathartic outlet for when I hit rock bottom after my business collapsed and my dad died in 2019. All I did was post content that I related to, and apparently around 200K others find it relatable too. It's one of several pages I've now grown to significant proportions organically on Social Media. I'm a 6 foot tall, natural redhead, born and raised in New Orleans until my family moved to Kansas when I was 8 in 1995. I've been living in Southern California for the most part since 2015, but I still go back to New Orleans at least once a year for the Endless Night Vampire Ball. I'm an active member and leader in the Vampire Community in Southern California. I found the Gothic & Vampire subcultures back in 2002 around when I started high school. There weren't many goths in the area I lived in but I read Gothic Beauty Magazine, Dark Realms Magazine and discovered what I could by reading websites like vampires.com and the early Vampire Freaks. Early 2000s Nu Metal and mid-late 90's riot grrrl & gothic fashion have influenced my style greatly (if you can't tell). I've always had an affinity for swamps and all things occult.
