Rita: Educator. Librarian. Writer. Reader. Mom. I'm a white, hetero, middle-aged, middle-class, college-educated, cisgendered, Catholic-raised, atheistic, and non-married woman who's lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest. I was born into a working-class family whose members immigrated to the US in the early 1900s. I've been personally impacted by autism, depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, infertility, divorce, abuse. I work in a diverse school district with high poverty. I'm a pragmatic optimist who believes in the power of story to disrupt us, to heal us, to save us.
Grace: I’m the daughter of two white, middle-class, college educated parents attending a predominantly white and upper-class college. I have a modern family with four-ish siblings each battling their own demons of the body, mind, or spirit. Raised on the west coast, learning on the east coast, but haven’t seen much in between. I believe in the power of education, but still need to figure out how to be a Mrs. Gruwell more than a Ms. Umbridge. I’m a type-A idealist who thinks that before you can change the world you have to believe you can.
