I have appeared in the MORTIFIED performance at the Littlefield theater twice, and am now on their podcast. Check out episode 32 to hear about my child self’s undying love for Prince Harry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ab6f7d74cff7fa29dfafc/a626c9c7-8cd6-4569-9369-272bdabd7506/dwt.jpeg Podcasts & Such - Drinks with Tony I had a great conversation with Tony DuShane on his podcast Drinks with Tony about what it was like to leave evangelicalism and enter the world of secular relationships again.

Three other participants and I wrote non-fiction pieces based off the theme, “Temper, temper,” and then performed each other’s stories in front of a live audience. You can listen to it and see a picture of me with extremely long hair here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ab6f7d74cff7fa29dfafc/1512752094057-24WLMT2RBIUFHFM0EPAK/Renegade.png Podcasts & Such - Readings I’ve had the pleasure of being a first time and returning guest at a number of reading series throughout Brooklyn, New York.
