Ali’s writing is darkly funny, dialogue-driven, and a little bit magic. Her art serves up murky moral dilemmas with a side of radical hope.
Ali has extensive teaching and leadership experience. As an artist and a therapist, she believes in our capacity to transform.
She loves a good ghost story and talking late around a kitchen table.
