Who am I
I published my first book 1 Oct 2014, The Female Assumption: A Mother's Story, Freeing Women from the View that Motherhood is a Mandate. The book questions the things we say to females that make them feel they must or "should" pursue motherhood at all costs. It's the right path for many women, but not for all. Or, for women who wanted it but couldn't achieve it, they're told they were too busy with their career, or they hear that they are "less than" in some way. Our words matter. We must, as women, stand together in a sister-to-sisterness manner.

Services I offer to other writers
At this time, I'm on a busy book tour, I've been to DC, LA, and doing the Library circuit right now. Many things happening all at once....yes! This is what's it's like to be a published author....BUSY! (and happy) :-)
Media outlets that I currently write for
I've freelanced for RoleReboot.org (cultural website that questions status quo/stereotypes), ExtraNews.net (Chicago-based news site focused on Latino demographic). My articles have appeared at: Boston Women's Health Collective/Our Bodies Ourselves Blog, Psychology Today Blog, CMomA.org, and many others. My passion is diversity of thought, and using our words to uplift rather than to tear down.
