Welcome to the world of powerful, transgressive stories that inspire change. 

My life’s work is guiding these stories out into the open, working with artists, activists, poets, writers, and scholars, transforming trouble into art.

You can find me in print and online.

My latest book, Body & Soul: Stories for Skeptics & Seekers, is an unorthodox collection of first-person accounts by women writers and poets. A vital conversation-starter. With a Foreword by Alison Pick.
