So, What the Funk?

An Introduction to Funk Life

Welcome to 🌴 Funk Life 🌴

Here on Funk Life, I am dedicated to sharing my values through my written essays, blogs, and other materials. I will discuss many nuanced topics with earnestness, curiosity, humor, and hopefully some nice groove. Specifically I’ll dive into issues of psychology, gender, identity, transition, detransition, sexuality, and politics, as I am a detransitioner turned mental health advocate and cultural critic. I am also an archetype of the eccentric hippie artist so I will explore art, music, spirituality, and of course, how to live a funky lifestyle.

Funk Life’s purpose is clear...To spread the gospel of funk! But what is funk? Funk is a rhythm, an offbeat syncopation. To be funky means to exist on a unique groove; to view the world through a distinct perspective, and to enjoy all the universe has to offer... if one can manage all that funkiness! Funk is about finding meaning, pleasure, and authenticity in oneself and life, yet as many funkedelics have realized, living in such a state of sublimity can often mean a struggle to reach the good funks and combat those pesky bad funks. Being funky is no easy task, but it is possible, and this is where Funk Life comes in.

Funk Life is run by me, Laura, AKA Funk God! Funk God is my namesake as well as a philosophy and creative entity focused on providing funky content to help people embrace their unique personalities and transform negative views of one’s quirks into positive ones. Funk God promotes self-awareness, acceptance, and expression through creative exploration across multimedia including visual art and aesthetics, graphic design, photography, music, writing, and more. All work is created to encourage the subversion of bad funks into good funks, and make sure we all remember to boogie!
