Writer & Educator

Spawned by a Southern Baptist creationist and a liberal social worker, K-B inherited the requisite sense of humor to survive family dinner-table debates and the imagination to avoid them. She has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of California Riverside Palm Desert, and teaches Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the Cal State University system.

When not doing writerly things and teaching, she attends protests, rages, and posts Plan C Pills stickers in public bathrooms.

K-B’s narrative nonfiction, commentary, political fiction, book reviews and author features have been published in Hard Crackers, Evening Street Review and Evening Street Press, Not My President: The Anthology of Dissent (Thoughtcrime Press, 2017), Ducts magazine, Publishers Weekly, The Missing Slate, Trivia: Feminist Voices, Ms. Magazine , the former Gay San Diego, North County Times, and others. She’s the publisher and a founding editor of Writers Resist.
