Noreen Naseem Rodr?guez (she/her) is the daughter of Asian immigrants and was a bilingual elementary educator in Austin, Texas, before becoming a teacher educator. She is currently an assistant professor of elementary education and educational justice in the College of Education and core faculty in Asian Pacific American Studies and Muslim Studies at Michigan State University. Noreen engages in tsundoku-the art of collecting books but not reading them-and enjoys art projects, baking, and cooking.

Katy Swalwell (she/her) is the descendent of European settlers in Iowa and was a middle and high school social studies teacher before becoming a professor in elementary education programs at universities in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. She is now a consultant with the Equity Literacy Institute and Past Present Future Consulting & Media. She enjoys road trips with her family, co-hosts a history podcast called "Our Dirty Laundry," and co-founded a children's book company called Past Present Future Publishing. Noreen and Katy bonded over their love of escape rooms, theme parties, and dessert. When together, they are bound to burst into song and gesticulate wildly.
