I’m Holly Geringer, a freelance writer and essayist exploring the threads that connect personal experience with the world around us. From the quiet shifts of motherhood to the systemic impact of anti-intellectualism and prison labor, my work delves into the spaces where identity, justice, and culture intersect. My essays eke out what’s often overlooked—bringing emotional depth to politics and political urgency to everyday life. With every piece, I aim to dismantle myths we’ve been taught to believe—about merit, equality, fairness—and offer something truer in their place. Sometimes that truth is uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s hopeful. Always, I write to inspire others to feel, think, and question more deeply.
