CE Reynolds Writer · Photographer · Political Theorist

I write at the intersection of literary nonfiction, documentary photography, and political theory — staying close to the ground so the ideas don't float away.

My long-form project The Inherited Wound traces colonial violence through bodies, landscapes, and generations across St. Croix, Australia, Peru, and Mexico. I have a graduate background in women’s studies, yet I am finishing a master's in political theory. I have been accepted to residencies in Edenhope, Australia and Cusco, Peru, while also a doctoral candidate at the Global Center for Advanced Studies.

For over a decade, I have worked at the intersection of community organizing, nonprofit communications, and independent media across the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. I have written for and with organizations working on LGBTQ+ rights, environmental justice, and community health. I have interviewed women reshaping their fields, created space for queer voices, and built radio programming that centered people the mainstream media ignored. That organizing background shapes everything I write, thus I know what it costs to tell a story, and I know who pays when it doesn't get told.

I have written for the St. Croix Avis, Rise Up News, Women of Cincy, and Queer Kentucky, and completed a residency at the Big Ci in Bilpin, New South Wales in 2022.
