Rachel Calnek-Sugin is a writer, educator, and almost-social worker committed to the openness of the soul in all its forms! She writes stories, creative nonfiction, and plays about the vast, queer lives of women and girls, the aliveness of natural things, and people trying to make life bearable on this violent and beautiful earth. Rachel currently lives in Brooklyn, teaches creative writing, and does therapy with youth impacted by mass incarceration.
