Taylor listens as she speaks, a skill that allows a higher voice to flow into her writing.

Dustin Bealle Smith, author of Key Grip:  A Memoir of Endless Consequences

Taylor draws readers in, not with simplistic solutions, but rather by offering vivid stories of transformation. She demonstrates that healing can only come when one fully embraces his or her own journey partnered with community.

Kristin Ritzau,

author of A Beautiful Mess

BIO

I am a Third Culture Kid. My childhood and adolescent years were split among the diverse backdrops of Canada, Haiti, and England. Today, I live in Southern Ontario with my TCK husband, Dwayne, and our two kids.

I am a PhD student, writer, a professor of writing, a wife, mother, and advocate for the marginalized and outsider. I write about writing and identity through the eyes of a cultural outsider.
