She steps on the pro-choice battlefield as a patient advocate at Austin Women’s Health Center and supports people of color during their birthing experiences with positive, healthy outcomes as a trained doula with Mama Sana Vibrant Woman. Another Austinite, Kathy is a freelance copywriter who's a longtime wistful admirer of curly, coily and straight hair. She's learning to put down the irons and embrace her wavy hair.
