Michael is the founder and one of the co-executive directors of Brave Commons and an mdiv student at duke divinity school. Their work is primarily as a public theologian, community organizer, story teller, and creative director. They look at the ways in which the theologies we form in the church, the academy, and at home impact the way that we live our lives and the ways that we form policies. They also are an activist that supports other activists seeking the elevate the ways they are organizing for change around a particular issue. Their work here is primarily around intersectional LGBTQ+ inclusion. They look for ways for folks to discover, encounter, and interact with beauty and justice and goodness at the intersection of their humanness, creation, and the divine. They want to help people discover their own worth and value, find healing in the midst of struggle and trauma, and create means of flourishing for themselves and for others. They also spend a ridiculous amount of time as a twitter commentator (big LOL for everyone involved).
