About Me

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Erica Swallow, a status quo wrecker, entrepreneur, and children’s book author, currently pursuing an MFA in Writing for Children at Simmons University.

My thoughts have been published in Forbes, Fortune, and The Wall Street Journal, among other publications, and this blog is where I muse on writing, education, and technology. Check out my writing portfolio and speaking work.

A first-generation college student, I was raised in Paragould, Arkansas and believes education is the key to opportunity. I hold degrees from New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and am the founder of Southern Swallow digital strategy consultancy.

Thank you for visiting!
