Paisha Thomas is both an advocate for social justice and an artist. She uses story in both adventures. As a storyteller, she incorporates songwriting, short stories, and ceramics as ways to talk about her personal experiences, life in general, and our collective history in this beautiful, messed up, world.

She has woven her best stories into a thought provoking and heart wrenching book. Her memoir, Looking for Innocence, spans every decade of her life, sharing her journey through relationships, religion, parenting, trauma, and sometimes all of the above in the same story. You can expect to experience a range of emotions. You’ll likely laugh. Maybe feel some anger, and some sadness. You’ll be riveted and maybe sometimes wonder how in the world she's still here. You might also find yourself in one of her stories and experience your own continued transformation along with her.Paisha Thomas is both an advocate for social justice and an artist.
