One of the benefits of being a writer is getting to know other writers. This page is devoted to sharing some of the words of other female writers that have resonated with me, challenged me, transformed me. I will update it as I can. Here are a few authors and their web sites + featured pieces.

1. Kaitlin B. Curtice: Storyteller. Poet.

“Kaitlin Curtice is a Native American Christian author and speaker. As an enrolled citizen of the Potawatomi nation and someone who has grown up in the Christian faith, Kaitlin writes on the intersection of Indigenous spirituality, faith in everyday life, and the church.” 

2. Gail Dudley: Publisher, Author, Speaker.

“Transparent, authentic, fierce, fearless, focused, and faithful, Gail is determined to encourage someone, motivate everyone, and incite an awakening to move people beyond the status quo. She is the co-founder, CEO & publisher of READY Magazine (www.READYPublication.com)  a quarterly print publication in all 50 U.S. States and several countries.

3. Kathy Khang: Writer, Speaker. 

“Writer, speaker, coffee drinker, and now yoga teacher, her journey began in childhood diaries & journals, moved into newsrooms, and then to a co-authored book entitled More Than Serving Tea. The book is about the intersection of faith, culture and gender, and it tells just part of an important story of Asian American Christian women.”

4. Karen Gonzalez: Writer, Speaker, Immigrant, Advocate.

“Karen is a speaker, writer, and immigrant advocate, who herself immigrated from Guatemala as a child. For the last 11 years, she has been a non-profit professional, currently working for World Relief, an organization that serves immigrants and refugees. She wrote a book about her own immigration story and the many immigrants found in the Bible: The God Who Sees: Immigrants, The Bible, and the Journey to Belong .”

5. Lisa Sharon Harper

“From Ferguson to New York to Germany and South Africa Ms. Harper leads training and helps mobilize clergy and community leaders around shared values for the common good. A prolific speaker, writer and activist, Ms. Harper is the founder and president of FreedomRoad.us, a consulting group dedicated to shrinking the narrative gap in our nation by convening forums and experiences that bring common understanding, common commitment, and common action toward a just world.”

6. Austin Channing Brown: Writer, Speaker.

“In a time when nearly all institutions (schools, churches, universities, businesses) claim to value “diversity” in their mission statements, I’M STILL HERE is a powerful account of how and why our actions so often fall short of our words. Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice, in stories that bear witness to the complexity of America’s social fabric–from Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middle-class suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majority-white organizations.”

7. Dorcas Cheng-Tozun: Writer & Editor, Communications Consultant

“She is an award-winning writer, editor, speaker, communications consultant, and former Inc.com columnist. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Christianity Today, Image Journal, and dozens of other publications in the U.S., Asia, and Africa and continues to provide communications consulting for social-benefit companies around the world.”

And in a time such as this,
as Cesar Chavez says,
“Art [should] disturb the comfortable,
and comfort the disturbed.”
