Writing
As a writer and performer, I look for the connections between our individual stories and lived experiences.
I find that when readers or audience members are able to find these connections, they can then explore the places of resonance in their own lives and in the world. I understand writing and performance as forms of activism… our words, our creations, our art, can and do make a difference in the world. This page offers a small sampling of some of my writing and creative work. For a full listing of my academic publications, please click on More Academic Publications, below.
