Speaker Bio: 

Valerie Tarico is a psychologist and writer in Seattle, Washington. She is the author of Trusting Doubt: A Former Evangelical Looks at Old Beliefs in a New Light and Deas and Other Imaginings. Her articles about religion, reproductive health, and the role of women in society have been featured at sites including AlterNet, Salon, Huffington Post, Sightline, Grist, Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, and Jezebel.


Musician Bio :

At age 15 Joseph started playing guitar and music immediately became an important part of his life. He joined a high school band and then a college band. When the latter began to lose momentum he decided to pursue a career in education. He’s currently in his 10th year as a history teacher, but in 2018 he decided to rekindle his musical aspirations. He plays all over town— sometimes as a solo artist and sometimes with his band “The Drift.” His original music can be found on any streaming platform.
