Timeline

1992

Olivia Gatwood (born February 23, 1992) is a poet, writer, and educator on topics that include coming of age, feminism, gendered violence, & true crime.

Olivia Gatwood was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on February 23, 1992.

Her mother, Jill, is a sex educator and H.I.V. epidemiologist and her father, Byron, is a middle school teacher.

She spent three years in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago where she began writing poetry at age 11 at the suggestion of a librarian.

Gatwood's continued interest in poetry stemmed from her use of the art form as an outlet for her emotions; in an interview she explained, "teenagers have a lot of feelings and thoughts, but are often told that there's no space for those things to exist. But spoken word is the exact opposite. The more you can express, the better."

While still in high school, Gatwood led a collection of women who reported a local bakery to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for sexual harassment and won a settlement of over $10,000.
