Writer | Speaker & Storyweaver | Guide

My Pursuits

I spin neuroqueer tales, lace up stanzas, and interweave counter-narratives. Find shortform verse and prose here, with longform work on the way... Hopefully.

Musings

I plan to get feisty about neurodiversity, queerness, and localism on my forthcoming podcast, Neuroqueer Storyweavers. Stay tuned.

About Sherry

Sherry Johnson, M. Ed, was raised in neglectful tension, by a union-steward mom and Army-sergeant dad. After a decade teaching and cultivating a loving home, she found self-acceptance through a midlife queer awakening and her autism and ADHD diagnoses. These discoveries now nourish her creative writing, consulting business, and relationships.
