Eli’s ability to integrate theory, activism, and storytelling in his work about social justice, disability, queerness, and trans identity makes him a sought after educator, speaker and poet. If you've ever been fortunate enough to hear Eli speak or read his books I'm sure you are already picking out your outfit and telling all your friends.
