Don’t miss out on this special event – mark your calendars now!BIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nIn nearly a decade of their work\, Amanda Machado (CA) has focused on writing stories about travel\, outdoor adventure\, and sexuality that center the experiences of queer people and women of color. Recognizing the common erasure of those stories\, she has aimed to use her work\, as writer Matthew Salesses wrote\, to “take responsibility for absence.” \n\n\n\nAs a queer daughter of immigrants from Mexico and Ecuador\, Amanda has always felt split between many places. “I write stories that show how those of us — children of immigrants and displaced people\, queers\, gender-expansive folks — who grow up with our first experiences of home and desire and identity expanding past binaries\, ultimately become the kind of people who want to take in the world intimately\, who view travel as something we naturally must do.” \n\n\n\nAmanda has a BA in English Literature/Nonfiction from Brown University. In addition to their essay writing\, Amanda also is a public speaker and workshop facilitator on issues of justice and anti-oppression for organizations around the world. She is also the founder of Reclaiming Nature Writing\, a multi-week online workshop that centers the experiences of people of color in how we tell stories about the outdoors. \n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.
