Hi, so I'm Kerlin, the new editor of Hip Mama. Ariel has left me some fantastic shoes to fill and I hope I'm up to the job.
Feel free to e-mail me with questions and submissions at hipmamazine@gmail.com.
On the off chance that anyone is curious~
I was born and raised in Nashville, TN.
I am a mother, a painter, and a wife in no particular order.
I am bi, and an Episcopalian.
I love Indian food and bluegrass music.
I am trying to understand the concept of Identity and how we know who we are, so that is going to be issue #40. Please chime in with your thoughts and feelings.
I have a fabulous four year old son named Adin, and a wonderful supportive partner named Jordan.
