From Allison: "I live in Wisconsin, and hold a bachelor’s degree in Communication with a Journalism emphasis from Carroll University, as well as a certificate in Christian Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I am also totally blind, the result of a brain tumor that damaged my optic nerve when I was a baby. I am currently employed at a call center, but my passions are singing in choir, and writing about the intersection of Christianity and social justice issues. I am the author of a self-published memoir, The Rivers of My Life, which you can read for free online here (https://gilbertandme.com/category/the-rivers-of-my-life), or listen to on Audible (https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Rivers-of-My-Life-Audiobook/B0CBNHY2BZ). You may also read or listen to more of my writing on Substack (https://substack.com/@theriversoflife)."
