Rebekah Taussig is a Kansas City writer who lives in a house full of half-finished art projects, loud music, and a fussy family of tenderhearted snugglers. She writes to understand, to reclaim, and to participate in changing the cultural narratives we have around disability, motherhood, and what it means to live in a human body. She believes storytelling can change the world. Literally.
She earned her PhD from the University of Kansas, runs the Instagram platform @sitting_pretty, and authored the bestselling memoir Sitting Pretty. After almost a decade of teaching in the traditional classroom, she has pivoted to full time writing and speaking. She also co-writes Roadmaps – a disability advice column that isn’t really interested in giving anyone advice – with the magical Hannah Soyer. (Send in your questions to messyroadmaps@gmail.com.)
