Bio

When Debbie was in grade school, she won a young writers’ award for using her active imagination to write stories of a mouse named Charleston. In their role as Children’s Alliance Mobilization Manager, they have the privilege of leading community mobilization to empower kids and families most impacted by racism and other oppressions to tell their stories and influence change. Before coming to Children’s Alliance, they ran for Seattle School Board Director, co-founded an organization called Queer Power Alliance, and have been working in Washington state advocacy nonprofits for almost 15 years. In her spare time, she journeys on adventures with her 6-year-old and partner, discovers the joys and tribulations of gardening, and indulges in her love for reading sci-fi/fantasy books.
