Reshma Grewal – Social Media Strategist
Reshma Grewal is a Writing and Literature student at the University of California at Santa Barbara, and plans to minor in Applied Psychology and English with a specialization in Literature and the Mind. She focuses on realistic fiction and creative nonfiction writing, with common themes of trauma, development and personality.
In addition, Reshma is working with Kindred’s Editor, Lisa Regan, and Kindred’s Social Justice Editor, Dave Metler on founding a Kindred Fellowship Program to establish a dynamic and sustained pathway between young changemakers like herself and Kindred. The Kindred Fellowship Program will catalyze Kindred as a launching pad for Kindred’s next generation of changemakers who will be mentored by Kindred’s thought leaders around childhood-centered social justice education and supported in putting their ideas for change into action.

Teresa Graham Brett – Associate Editor
Teresa lives her passion for creating social change by combining her work in social justice education with parenting. As a professional, she has spent over 20 years working in and with universities and colleges as an educator, leader, administrator and consultant committed to advancing social change and social justice. After graduating from law school, she decided not to practice law. Instead, she opted to serve the cause of social change and justice through her work at three large public universities across the country. She worked with innovative programs designed to create transformative learning for students, staff and faculty. As a consultant she continues to bring her expertise and passion to clients interested in transformative learning, social change and social justice.
Her own life was transformed after the births of Martel and Greyson, who have challenged her to live the values of liberation, freedom and respect as a parent. She discovered the ways in which she did not live in congruence with her professional values in her role as a parent. Using her experience in facilitating social justice learning, she began her own learning journey toward creating respectful relationships with the children who share her life. This personal journey and her challenge to others to create broader social change by transforming how we view and treat children is chronicled in her writing, both on her website and in her book, Parenting for Social Change.
