I do…a lot. In addition to writing books (and parenting three teenagers) I teach writing workshops for young people and for adults (see Events & Classes for upcoming workshops); coach a wide range of writing clients; and tutor high school students with their college application essays.

I also speak and consult on a range of topics, including feminist histories (and futures!); social and racial justice; radical children’s books; practical activism; and how white people can be less racist, and more human.

Since 2015, I’ve worked with 300+ schools, libraries, museums, non-profits, tech companies, book festivals, and other institutions to share my books, my research, my activism, and my insights. I’ve appeared on “Conan,” msnbc, CNN, NPR, and numerous podcasts, and am a frequent conversation partner for San Francisco’s City Arts + Lectures.

I’m engaging, inquisitive, and compassionate—I’m also unapologetic about my identities, my political beliefs, and my commitment to dismantling white supremacist misogyny in all its forms. I’m skilled at presenting myself, my work, and my beliefs in ways that are affirming, compassionate, and age- and audience- appropriate.

I’m represented by the Harry Walker Agency for keynote, corporate, and college/university speaking engagements.

My literary agents are Jesseca Salky and Charlotte Sheedy.
