I’m Rebecca. Hello, and thank you for visiting.

Saying Something is my blog, written for my kids as a record of how their mom is learning to TRY: to try for a better country through civic action; to make mistakes bravely and learn humbly from them; to use my voice to speak out and show up despite fear and self-doubt.

It’s a place for this shy introvert to practice expression.

What else? I was born and raised in Arizona, went to college in New York, lived and worked in California, and came back to Arizona for graduate school and to start a family. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we have two children, one cat, one sourdough starter, and lots of pandemic plants.
