Hi! I’m a writer who covers domestic violence, women’s health, mental health, technology, and LGBTQ+ issues. My work has appeared in the Washington Post, USA Today, Women’s Health, Parents Magazine, Medscape, SELF Magazine, and elsewhere. My writing on the struggle to afford healthcare with and without health insurance and dental insurance has been supported by the Economic Hardship Reporting Project. I also teach memoir writing with the Redbud Writing Project in Raleigh, North Carolina. I can be reached at lekrouse at gmail dot com.
