Hello!
I am also a 46-year-old neurodivergent, Retired disabled Veteran with a 100% disability rating; half of that is for just one of my neurodivergent diagnoses. I spent decades advocating to change the language of what's deemed as disabilities, and sharing my story to address the stigma of neurodivergence and mental health. Where some see it as a hindrance, I see it as the value we can bring to any space if we are allowed to share our strengths and weaknesses. My successes are the result of the "tools" I've implemented to survive and thrive since the age of four. Gasoline Rainbowz isn't a hobby or craft project; it's a vision, it stands for all as an advocate and activist for all who are healing, discounted, and trying to find their voices, too. As a mom of six+, who were raised in a dual-military family, I finessed whimsical experiences on a lean budget while crafting magical memories and experiences—the formula: dopamine, art, repurposed items/equipment, and a galactic imagination.
I'm a TV host for my show Gasoline Rainbowz- Ramblings of a Right Brain Libra, which streams on every Wednesday at 7 pm CST on the E360 TV Network (streaming on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, Google Play, and E360’s on-demand platform), an Actress, Playwright, Artist, Podcaster, "007" on the Ballroom floor, radical dreamer, ally, survivor, who gives tons of mom hugs, and the front line of any bully with auntie energy, all while serving a lil' bit of FASHION.
I'm known to serve a lil' purr with a pinky up, and a hand in my pocket.
I'm a Baggins AND a Took.
I'm Ayauna, Founder and Architect of Gasoline Rainbowz.
#EachBreathForward is both our method and our promise.
Gasoline Rainbowz is currently an independently funded mobile sensory movement working to deliver inclusive, dopamine-based pop-up experiences and events to ALL communities, organizations, and people who need safe spaces, a moment of reprieve, and a glimmer of promise and hope.
Accessibility isn’t charity. It’s not a perk. It’s a human right.
It isn’t optional, decorative, or negotiable.
It is as immutable as gravity.
When we say accessibility, we mean everyone—disabled, neurodivergent, and the many communities and cultures of color who’ve been systemically ignored or excluded.
We mean immigrants, veterans, elders, queer and trans people, the working-class, the unhoused, and anyone forced to survive systems that were never built for them.
We mean every person still waiting for the world to deliver what it promised: dignity.
Gasoline Rainbowz was built for them—for us.
Our movement is rooted in altruism with teeth—bringing dopamine, infrastructure, and possibility to those told they don’t deserve them.
Because accessibility isn’t a trend.
It’s survival. It’s equity. It’s the work.
Dopamine isn’t a luxury. It’s biology.
It’s not niche—it’s life-sustaining and life-saving.
Too often, we chase unhealthy dopamine through screens, validation, and noise, mistaking attention for connection. That kind of dopamine numbs; it doesn’t heal.
Gasoline Rainbowz creates spaces that restore healthy dopamine through color, sound, texture, laughter, and belonging.
We turn everyday places into reminders that connection itself is medicine.
When you reach for the drink, the trip, the treat, let it be because you choose it, not because you’re escaping.
That’s mindful dopamine. That’s where healing starts.
#EachBreathForward isn’t a slogan. It’s a survival mechanism.
Each time we exhale, that breath is gone—a moment we’ll never reclaim.
For those who feel like they can’t go on, anchoring yourself in the present breath means acknowledging life, possibility, and power.
Each breath forward, if we’re blessed to have it, is an opportunity to build, to rise, to come alive.
And if all you can do in your darkest days is breathe, that’s a victory.
Sometimes showing up means just that—breathing.
And that is enough.
