She grew up in Farmville, Virginia. She graduated from Harvard Kennedy School of Government. She worked for the Richmond Times Dispatch, and the San Diego Union-Tribune. Her work appears in The Atlantic, and NPR.
Work
Her 2015 book, Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County, is about a protest in Prince Edward County, led by student Barbara Johns, which eventually led to the county closing all public schools, white or black. Her book not only describes a historical event, but also shows that the fears and exaggerations that allowed segregation to take place are still very alive in today's United States. The Washington Post named it on its list of "notable nonfiction" for 2015.
