About Kendra Colburn

Kendra Colburn was born and raised in Vermont in a family rich with the history of both New England’s working poor and, more distantly, its WASP elite. She has worked in the building, metalworking, and farming trades and as a project manager, freelance writer and editor. She has also worked as a classism workshop facilitator, and has organized around environmental, food justice and socioeconomic class issues since 1997.

Kendra works and lives in the Upper Valley of Vermont and balances making a living, writing and connecting with her community around intersectional equity.
