About Thea Hillman
Award-Winning Author | Impact Storyteller | Communications Strategist
A poetry slam champion with a Masters in English & Creative Writing, I’ve worked on projects that advance social change and environmental justice — from saving harp seals to abolishing the death penalty to convincing people it’s as easy to recycle things as it is to throw them away.
The books I’ve written are being taught at universities across the country and have raised awareness about human rights issues close to my heart.
