Welcome to Me Out Loud, LLC, where my mission is to educate, create, and advocate, using art-inspired facilitation and community conversation.  I work with individuals or in groups, focusing on the intersection of empathy, collaboration, and personal expression.

My name is Em, and I am an educator, an artist, and an advocate for justice, especially reform of the criminal justice system.  My professional career includes work in two and four year colleges, corporate training, alternative high schools and corrections education.  My advocacy centers on the rights of women and girls, racial equality, and civic engagement.

My career as an artist is recent and unexpected, but have discovered that I LOVE COLOR! I’m also a big fan of black and white line drawings full of movement and detail. You can contact me at marie at meoutloud dot com.
