I'm an author, blogger, advocate for immigrants and refugees, and founder of Rising Village Foundation, a nonprofit in Tulsa, Oklahoma that provides essential resources, housing, and community to refugees and immigrants from around the world. 

I write about writing, justice, expansive faith, and whatever else is at the forefront of my swirling brain. I have books you can buy here, but I hate marketing, so I won't give you a hard sell. And if you live in Tulsa and want to meet up and talk about writing or why we should be good neighbors in an age of empire (or both!), I'll hand a book over, my gift to you.
