ABOUT
My name is Lachrista Greco, which literally translates to “the Greek female Christ” in Italian. I’m a writer, educator, librarian, curator, and strega living on Ho-Chunk Land (Madison, Wisconsin). I’m a consultant to organizations and universities on preventing digital violence (and teaching survivors how to cope). My specialties and interests include: digital violence/sexual violence prevention and survivor support, curating and cataloging digital activism and online movements, learning disabilities/neurodiversity, Italianità, and trauma-informed healing.
I’m most known in these internet streets for being the human behind @TheGuerrillaFeminist, which has 240K followers. GF initially started as a performance art campaign in 2011 in Chicago, blending social justice activism and viewer’s interactions with feminist statements and images.
I have published two books: the first, an anthology called, Olive Grrrls: Italian North American Women & The Search For Identity (2013), in which I was the editor, and the second, a book of poems titled, Leftovers (2015). My writing was also published in the anthology, Post-Traumatically Stressed Feminist (2017). I’m currently writing two new books. The first is called The Guerrilla Feminist: A Search For Belonging On and Offline, and the second is a book of poems titled, Lift Me Out of the Wound.
I live in Madison, Wisconsin (with pieces of my heart in Italy and Duluth).
