I’m Alicia Swiz. Professor, performer and an unapologetically feminine feminist. My work is inspired by the magic and mortality of my own body, my gender identity as a woman and the divine feminine power that lives in all of us. By publicly reclaiming my own sexual agency and erotic voice to liberate myself, I contribute to the liberation of all women from the shackles of deeply destructive patriarchal values.

A Jersey girl by way of North Carolina, it was in Chicago where I developed my comedic voice by producing & hosting Feminist Happy Hour, a performance showcase amplifying women in comedy. In 2016, I launched Slut Talk, an ever evolving storytelling project re-writng the narrative on women, sex and shame. I have an MA in Women’s & Gender Studies with over 15 years experience teaching college courses in Gender, Media & Culture Studies. My writing has published in Esquire, Chicago Reader, Role Reboot. I’ve never met a french fry I didn’t like.
