Jamie D. Brooks is an emerging writer who uprooted her middle-class life in America and resettled abroad to keep her children safe from gun violence and other systemic American harms. Brooks’ writing is grounded in the nearly two decades she spent as a lawyer advocating for reproductive justice and improving access, safety, and quality within the American healthcare system. Residing in southeast London, Brooks can be found running its hills before dawn, taking long walks with her husband, and learning viral dance routines with her children to today’s current hits.
