Megan Pamela Ruth Madison loves being a Black queer woman and she dreams of justice.  As a former preschool teacher, Megan understands the power of play and collaboration across generations.  She holds an MS in early childhood education from Dominican University and a BA in studies in religion from the University of Michigan.  Currently, she is pursuing her PhD at Brandeis University.  When she's not working on finishing up her dissertation, she works as a trainer for the Center for Racial Justice in Education and the New York Early Childhood Professional Development Institute, facilitating workshops for teachers and families on race, gender, and sexuality.  

Beyond her professional work, Megan volunteers on the Board of Directors for Jews for Racial & Economic Justice and JOIN for Justice.  Through these organizations, she's been able to deepen her skills as a community organizer. Megan believes that in order to enact sustainable change at the institutional, structural, and cultural levels, we must also engage in the deep work of personal and interpersonal transformation. At its sweetest, the process of community organizing enables us to co-create moments in which we can more clearly see, imagine, feel, taste the world as it could be. Time and time again, she is continually in awe of the process through which communities develop a shared vision for collective liberation and become accountable to that future. What an honor to witness as people fall in love with themselves, with one another, and the world they are building together! She hopes that these books are one small, but mighty contribution to this giant collective project.
