Welcome! My name is Aubree, and this is &AWH (and awe/ and aubree was her name). When I was little, my teacher gave me a question for homework: What is the meaning behind your name? So, I went home and asked my mother why she named me Aubree. I never thought my name meant anything, but somehow, the curiosity sparked a depth—a flame. My mother’s grin was a warm surprise as she explained the simple truth: I was named after the band Bread’s song “Aubrey,” and the joy she felt listening to this song in her bright red convertible was the reason why. I chuckled as I saw her childlike joy, and that day provided me with a reference point.

&AWH is a spark, a creation that’s in flux. —a place where my name, Aubree, has birthed more beauty than I could have imagined, carrying me into unknown places, and allowing for expansion in all directions. That moment as a child deepened my curiosity about myself, opening a pathway to uncover the layers within. A yearning seeded at my core, to love all parts of me and embrace this human life. I promised to be dedicated to this journey of aliveness, befriending life with open arms as the innate preciousness bursts at every seam, in every way—undeniably raw and beautiful. I welcome you to all that is offered here. As the ones who love me pour into me, I hope I can pour back into the things that are meaningful and worthwhile. I wouldn’t be here without the love of my teachers, friends, family, and even strangers. I owe everything to those who have invested in me, and this is just the beginning of a waterfall of gratitude. May I continue to grow alongside this ever-evolving landscape of life, and may all those along their path be blessed beyond belief.
