I am the Director of IMPACT, a Boston-based organization that works to prevent violence and abuse by giving people the tools to defend themselves against imminent violence and the bravery and skills to create cultural change by advocating for healthy relationships and sexual respect in their communities. I am just about finished with my first book, a memoir about 15 years of domestic violence and sexual assault work entitled Another Chance at Home. My writing has appeared in the anthologies Pinned Down by Pronouns and I Do/I Don't: Queers on Marriage, and is forthcoming in the December issue of J Journal.
