Mistress of Peace Promotion. Currently practicing Yoga and Qi Gong while writing, reading or sleeping. Fresh air needed at all times. Camera at the ready.
I work with writers to help them shape, bring clarity to and focus their work. I teach skills and strategies that are helpful for all writing genres, creative, academic, business, etc. I work as a writing consultant in higher education.
I write poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction and am a former freelance critic. All criticism has now been tossed off the nearest cliff.
My work has been published in Wordpeace, riverbabble, Milvia Street, The Squaw Review, The New Poets of the American West, Temba Tupu! Walking Naked: Africana Womens' Poetic Self-Portrait, Skin Deep: Women Writing About Color, Culture and Identity, and elsewhere.
I've been an Artist in Residence with the California Arts Council and I have been awarded residencies at Vermont Studio Center, Hedgebrook and the Writers on Site Program of Poets & Writers, Inc. sponsored by the James Irvine Foundation.

Another feminist Killjoy speaking truth to power. Another feminist Killjoy dismantling racism and white supremacy in the academy. Another feminist Killjoy who shall not be silent/silenced.
