To Change Everything,

It Will Take Everyone

(including writers & storytellers)

I’m Kathleen and I believe in the power of a well-told story.

I help the people who are busy building a better world—climate campaigners, frontline community members, progressive leaders—find the words and tell the stories that will inspire everyone else to join them.

ABOUT ME

I’ve spent the past 20 years writing and telling people’s stories. I’ve designed campaigns that distill complex policy battles into simple stories—stories that make people want to join the fight.

I got my start as a newspaper reporter where I chronicled people’s lives and gained an eye for the telling detail.

Inspired by the ability of everyday people to make real change, I joined the team at Earthjustice and spent the next decade working with community members—from grassroots activists who took on the fracking industry in New York State (and won!) to the youth of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who changed the world with three words: “water is life.”

I believe our stories are a source of deep wisdom. They are an antidote to cynicism and despair. They guide us forward.
