There are a lot of ways I would describe myself. I am a feminist. I am a stay-at-home mother (yes, I believe a woman can be both). I'm an animal-advocate with a soft spot for dogs, especially my 8-year-old mutt Charles. I believe in human rights, women's reproductive rights, and racial-, gender-, and sexual-equality. I tell you this because they are topics you'll probably see in this space.
My background: I come from a small town in a small state. I graduated college, and moved to a city in the South with the man who would later become my husband. I developed my career in higher education, and earned my Master's degree. At the edge of an anxiety breakdown, I quit my high-level position for a job at a small web design company. When I was 6 months pregnant, the company folded; I've been unemployed ever since. We recently moved back to our home state and are adjusting to life with a toddler. Staying at home wasn't the life I originally saw for myself, but here we are for now.
I have a rated-R mouth. If I had to sum myself up in a shirt, it would be this one (with the inclusion of oxford commas, please):
This space will be home to pieces on various topics, including: book reviews, parenting, social commentary, politics, and general rambling. It's a work in progress. Discussion and comments are encouraged.
I've always been a writer; now it's time to put the pen to digital paper.
