Bio

Taylr Ucker-Lauderman is Chief Officer of Communications & Engagement at the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence, where she works to use the media as a platform for supporting and uplifting survivors in Ohio and beyond. Taylr believes that we must all use the tools at our disposal in order to address systems of oppression and the violence they cause in our world, and she does this by amplifying the voices of survivors and of professionals in her field.

Taylr is also an Adjunct Instructor at Wright State University, where she facilitates Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies courses including Intro to WGS, Feminist Theory, and Feminist Activism. Spreading this knowledge to students and empowering them to continue this feminist work is a major piece of her life.

Taylr has done similar work by assisting in planning and co-facilitating the 2018 cohort of the Young Feminist Collaborative, a project of Soapbox, Inc. and Civil Liberties and Public Policy. Taylr earned this opportunity after participating in Soapbox's Feminist Camp herself as a graduate student in 2014.

Along with these experiences, Taylr has worked as a program coordinator and survivor advocate for the Ohio Sexual Violence Helpline, a teen advocate for the YWCA Dayton, and a communications intern for Ohio NOW as well as for NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.

Taylr holds a Bachelor of Sciences in Communications from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. It was during her Master of Humanities program at Wright State University that she also earned the Outstanding Graduate Student in Women's Studies award in 2014.
