My pronouns are they/them.
I’m a writer, public speaker, and environmental justice communications strategist based in Bremerton, WA (Suquamish, Duwamish and Coast Salish tribal lands).
I wrote “Excommunicate Me From the Church of Social Justice” because I was fed up with the impossible, dogmatic standards of activist culture.
Since then, I have written pieces that continue to interrogate cultural norms:
“Why We Need Imperfect Apologies”
“On the Commodification of Suffering: Anti-Trans Memos and the Fallacy of Empathy”
“Becoming a Bridge Person in Precarious Times”
and more.
My anthology, Toward An Ethics Of Activism: A Community Investigation of Humility, Grace and Compassion in Movements for Justice, features contributions from Dean Spade, Corinne Manning, Alicia Garza, E.T. Russian, Maisha Manson and Erin Burrows.
