Hello.
I’m Taylor. Welcome to my living archive.
I’m a writer fascinated by global policy – or the ways in which different places solve different problems. I’m a mother who is unafraid of bringing children into a fractured world, but terrified by what it means to let a broken world raise my daughter. I am a non-profit professional with years of experience in an array of focus areas including child abuse and neglect, trafficking, homelessness, refugees & migration, and economic vitality. I’m a yoga teacher trying to teach people how to ground amidst it all. I write. I stretch. I cuss. I drink coffee like I am trying to win an award. Welcome.
Because I know you are wondering, this is not a political-party affiliated (or motivated) website. I’m politically agnostic and tend toward’s policies that most directly lead to the outcomes in society that solve the problem, and result in the fewest insults and injuries to rights and liberties. Sometimes I agree with the left. Sometimes the right. I care about policy, not the party.
My life has afforded me the ability to live and work in different corners of the world. These vantage points have included the inside of lockdown facilities, in courtrooms and church pews, in graveyards and soup-kitchen lines; the places where the lowest levels of policy take on names and faces and heartbeats. I am passionate about this work because I have seen first hand how real world problems + real world policy can affect very real people.
I am so happy to have you here.
The writer,
Taylor Patrice
