Katharine Strange is a writer and activist based in Seattle, Washington. Her writing often focuses on questioning received wisdom, particularly around marginalized groups and experiences. She hopes that her work will lead readers to examine prejudices, expand empathy, and at least once, laugh hard enough to pee themselves.

Katharine’s hunger for justice led to her involvement in antiracist activism. In 2015 she became contributing blog editor and guest teacher for local non-profit Kids & Race. After leaving Kids & Race, she became leader of the Seattle chapter of Integrated Schools. There she organizes quarterly meetings for white and/or privileged families who choose to enroll their kids in racially integrating schools. Her blog, “The Good School Project” and yearly school choice workshop are widely known among Seattle parents and educators. She’s long been involved in PTA equity measures across the school district. In 2022 she stepped into the classroom as a certified emergency substitute teacher to assist an underprivileged school experiencing a staffing crisis.

Whether she’s teaching a class of first graders, coaching a parent through big decisions, or penning a satirical take on The Bachelor, she’s known for her humor and compassion.
