If I’m Being Honest with Katie Crenshaw

Katie is a thirty-something mom of three living in Atlanta. She started her popular blog in 2015 as a platform to share new perspectives and to build community. In 2016 her open letter to critics of her daughter’s facial deformity went viral. This emotional piece reached audiences all over the world by way of Good Morning America, CNN, Inside Edition, and more. In 2019 she took her love for the human experience to new heights and launched a podcast, If I’m Being Honest with Katie Crenshaw. Her mission continues to be a voice for the voiceless by humanizing marginalized lifestyles and experiences. You can find more about Katie and her amazing articles at katiecrenshaw.com.

She unapologetically speaks her truth, colors outside the lines, believes in taking risks, and advocates for vulnerability. Katie maintains her unique voice with a consistent undercurrent of humor and authenticity. Her work has been featured in large publications such as Good Housekeeping, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan. She is an active content creator for Scary Mommy and The Huffington Post.

What I love about Katie is how darn real and vulnerable she is. We talked a lot about changing the body positivity game for women and how her post-partum photo reached across the US and beyond.
