Not all bodies are well

Whose bodies do we consider “normal?” How does that impact our ethics? Our faith? Let’s explore!

THE MORE, THE MERRIER.

Whether it’s genres of writing or shades of peoples’ skin: The more diverse the experience, the better.

I’m Madison

Writer of books, articles, poems, and zines.

Welcome to my writing hub! Since 2018, I’ve been writing on Instagram and in all sorts of faith-based publications about issues of the body and ethics.
