I am a Birmingham, Alabama-based writer, editor, and program director in arts, culture, and the humanities. My work engages with food, textiles, and the American and Global Souths. I currently lead programs and scholarship for Project Threadways and work in editorial and marketing for the Southern Foodways Alliance, where I contribute to Gravy quarterly and edit Gravy podcast. I have a B.S. from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and an M.A. in Southern Studies from the University of Mississippi.
