Author Information
Natalie Foster is a leading architect of the movement to build an inclusive and resilient economy. She is the president and cofounder of Economic Security Project and an Aspen Institute Fellow, and her work and writing has appeared in the New York Times, USA Today, Time, Business Insider, CNN, and the Guardian. Natalie speaks regularly on economic security, the future of work, and the new political economy. An unstoppable builder, Natalie previously founded the sharing economy community Peers and cofounded Rebuild the Dream with Van Jones, and served as digital director for President Obama's Organizing for America-a leading partner in winning transformative healthcare reform. A daughter of a preacher from Kansas, Natalie draws on the values of community, dignity, and optimism to build a better America. The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America's Next Economy is her first book. She lives in Oakland, California, with her husband and two kids. Leanne Woodward has always wondered what was happening elsewhere. In someone else's story, in some other universe. Now she spends her days immersed in fantastical, dark, and thrilling tales. She's been behind the microphone for more than thirty years, working in radio as well as on commercial voice-over projects. Her theater and improv experience bring risk-taking, emotion, and depth to her performances. She loves learning accents and languages-currently, French! When not narrating, Leanne explores the ""real"" world with hikes into the wild and dangerous culinary experiments. Angela Garbes is a Seattle-based writer specializing in food, bodies, women's health, and issues of racial equity and diversity. Garbes began writing for The Stranger in 2006, and became a staff writer in 2014. Her piece ""The More I Learn About Breast Milk, the More Amazed I Am"" is the publication's most-read piece in its twenty-four-year history, and the inspiration for this book. Garbes is an experienced public speaker, frequent radio and podcast guest, and event moderator. She grew up in a food-obsessed, immigrant Filipino household and now lives in Seattle with her husband and daughter. Like a Mother is her first narrative book.
