I write creative nonfiction about single parenting across languages and borders. I am working on a memoir, Broken Home, about one woman’s quest to repair a home broken by divorce, abandonment, and sledgehammers!
I was recently named a 2023 Sustainable Arts Foundation Awardee after having been a finalist in 2022. Read more about the award and what it means for parenting artists here.
