#Introduction

I recently realized that I never introduced myself here. So here goes a thread. I'm a queer, fat, Jewish femme. My work is mostly about cars as an automotive educator, writer, and speaker. Not DIY, I write about cars in a way that the average driver can understand.
I think it's essential to be a full person while doing my work. So I do more than just cars. I also write about queer life and love and the "plus-size experience." My goal is to uplift plus size people of color, non-male mechanics, queer folks, and other marginalized voices.
Now to the personal. I'm the oldest of 15 children and was raised in a Chassidic home. I love bright fun colors, great food (especially fish and steak), and treat myself to fancy nail designs. I'm in love with a beautiful woman and am polyamorous.
Here are some articles I've written that I'm proud of. For @ourprisms, this article about sexism in the automotive industry. ourprism.org/1917121
For @Rewire_dot_org this article about plus size resale stores all over the US. rewire.org/plus-size-resa…
