speaking/teaching

Ask Kristen to speak on any of the themes found in her books, such as bullying, cartooning, liberal arts, glamourosity, muse-wrangling, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

Also ask about her other lectures and presentations:

• • Deconstructing the Deco Diet — lecture about vintage cookbooks and women's history

  •  Joaquin Miller (went walkin') singalong for East Bay kids, hikers, environmental educators, and history buffs

  • Songs from her musical, Shoes, a Mirror, and a Big, Pink Rose.

  • Classroom presentations (Little Pig, Mrs. Id)

  • Social dance basics for mothers and sons.  ("She taught ten teens to tango in no time at all.")

Kristen makes presentations with Uplift Programs about self-esteem, assertiveness, bullying and parenting, and teaches Zumba in her neighborhood.
