She openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness
Hey, friend! I’m Mariah. I live, work, and love in Nashville, TN, and I’ve had this here lovely blog since 2011. By day, I direct a health policy program at a local medical college. I am an advocate for social justice and care deeply about the policies that address the underlying causes of racial and ethnic disparities in health and economic status.
I’m also a creative and that’s where Out Of My Mouth comes in – it gives me an outlet for all of my interests. I originally started OOMM when I was probably at the beginning of a young life crises. I had just graduated from law school and didn’t have a single compartment of my life figured out. Not my career, not my deepest values, not my future, not my hair, not nothing! It was honestly one of the lowest times in my life. I used this blog to make light of it. Read some of the older posts and you’ll quickly find that I didn’t know what I wanted to write or be or do! Yikes!
Now, OOMM is where I share how I’m learning to live authentically; how I’ve begun recognizing and following that still small voice; and how I navigate life’s highs and lows with humility and humor. If you’re trying to get your life or laugh at mine, you’ve found the place.
I write about faith a lot. Not even on purpose. It just comes out. Hope you like Jesus! I also share my poetry here, and I’m working on my first novel so there’s that. Lastly, I be on the Gram. Follow me @outofmymouth
