I’m a queer, neurodivergent Midwesterner, ten-time author, and public sociologist who also takes a lot of nudes in my free time.

My work lives at the intersection of culture, power, sexuality, and the internet. I’m the creator of The Lesbian Peep Show, a podcast and living archive of lesbian history, culture, and relationships. Across platforms, books, and projects, I document how queer women live, love, organize, and tell the truth about themselves.

Professionally, I’m in my gifts when I’m helping people fine-tune and articulate their vision through social media and messaging strategy. I was part of the first crop of people to be “influencers” before that was even a word. Seventeen years and more than 200,000 followers across platforms later, I understand both the emotional toll of visibility and how to make a message move. Both matter to my process.

My résumé is a all over on paper—service industry, social work, marketing director—but that’s exactly why I know this: your best, most creative work rarely happens under someone else’s thumb. That’s why we’re both here. To do things our own way.

I’m hell-bent on divesting from “professionalism,” which means I care a lot more about what we’re creating together than what kind of collar either of us is wearing while we do it.

I love entrepreneurship because it lets me build systems that actually work for me. It gives me room to move with my wild ideas, to leverage the way my brain works, and to help other people find their way out of systems that prioritize profit over people.
