I'm a student working part-time on a PhD in rhetoric and composition. I focus on the rhetorical construction of difference, especially race and gender in popular culture texts like movies, music, and advertisements.
I'm also a wife and mother of a toddler. My husband and I work hard to equally share our parenting responsibilities since we both work full-time. He's a lawyer, and I coordinate an educational program that helps underrepresented students go to graduate school. I also teach English classes.

| Me and my loves with LOVE |
Having a biracial little girl has made me incredibly aware of the messages popular media sends about race and gender in a new way. My scholarly life and my personal life began to overlap more and more.
I started this blog when I found out I was pregnant and have been using it as a space to examine the way the various facets of my life intertwine.
This blog may seem all over the place, but it's really just a space for me to see how things come together. I blog about feminism, equality, popular culture, rhetoric, parenting, cooking, education, racism, pets, politics, etc. I also love hearing from other people on how they juggle the different parts of their lives and identities.
Thanks for reading!
