At 8:28am on January 21, 2010, Deesha Philyaw said…: Hi, everyone! My intro...I'm mom to two funny girls (11 and 6), and I'm a freelance writer. I've been published in magazines and anthologies, and I just received a contract from an agent to represent a co-parenting book that I'm co-authoring with my ex husband. We are the founders of the resource site CoParenting101.org. I am also the co-parenting columnist for TheFasterTimes.com, and I write occasionally for an anti-racist parenting site, LoveIsntEnough.com. I also teach writing locally (Pittsburgh).

Glad to be here!

Can anyone tell me how/where to include a bio on MyPage?

Best,
~Deesha
