Welcome, Friends!

​

I’m Rob—advocate, essayist, journalist, scholar, survivor, and teacher. Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet.

This site is a curated collection of my work from the past 15 years, reflecting a journey across disciplines, identities, and roles. You’ll find writing, curricula, and community work organized around three core themes:

​

CULTURAL
Reflections on race, rap, and religion—through blogs, essays, and critical takes.

​

EDUCATIONAL
Curricula and classroom tools across religious studies, literature, writing, and human rights.

​

SOCIAL
Journalism and personal essays published in mainstream outlets, with a focus on community, justice, and care.

​

In my professional life, I serve as an Education & Prevention Specialist in sexual assault services, where I also focus on grant writing. Whether I’m writing, teaching, or organizing, my work centers on deconstructing systems of oppression and cultivating more just and connected communities. I’m especially passionate about empowering young people to build a safer world by challenging harmful norms and fostering collective care.

​

I hold a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, where I focused on whiteness, religion, and hip-hop culture. My path has included housing outreach, journalism, nonprofit leadership, restaurant work, and both secondary and higher education.

​

I now live in Santa Fe, NM, with my husband, our pup, and a lively crew of betta fish.

​

Thanks for being here.
