This is The Village, a newsletter about raising people, creating community, and building a creative life. I’m Kate!
I’ve reported on how to raise siblings who get along for The New York Times, the terror of parenting and what it means to be a stay-at-home parent for The Washington Post, the very American toll of gun violence for POPSugar, the complicated feelings I had when my oldest child started kindergarten for Romper, and many more.
I got my start as a celebrity publicist, working on teams for some of the biggest Hollywood stars (ILY Eva Mendes) and seeing firsthand the ways that commitment to art + craft + community could shape the world.
I hope to host conversations on those topics here with writers + artists + creators of all kinds. I’m fascinated by people who create communities for positive change, strive to raise good people in the myriad ways that’s possible in the world, and build lives around creativity and joy. Thanks for being here.
