As an artist, Talia has dedicated her time to understanding social change through different social spaces and disciplines within the academy. She has been molding and polishing her role as advocate with the help of a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance, an M.S. in Counseling, and now as a PhD candidate in Anthropology and Social Change. Her field of research and exploration revolves around motherhood and its myriad expressions within marginalized populations. Her greatest goal is to continue using her artistry, specifically through theatre, documentary filmmaking, and educcation as a process of learning and  (un)learning that disrupts systems of oppression, questions, creates aesthetic platforms that inspire community, collaborative imagining, and revolutions.
