In GBA 254 we get better acquainted with Kirby. She talks volunteering to help with crisis management during Hurricane Sandy and in the current refugee crisis, Mommy Blogging, growing up within the counter culture, being a parent and activist during Occupy Wall Street, true storytelling and more. This conversation takes place on a walk around a historic cemetery on a lovely sunny spring day.
