Since 1999, Natasha has enjoyed sharing the stage with local and national literary legends including NoViolet Bulawayo,
Carol Guess, Jeannine Hall Gailey, Ilya Kaminsky, 
Robert Lashley, Daniel Mallory Ortberg, and Putsata Reang. Weaving essays
and poetry with storytelling, Natasha takes her audiences on a tour of the metaphorical and literal heart, diving into themes
of belonging as a first-generation American of Dutch and Indian heritage, who passes for white.

Leaning into vulnerability, Natasha connects deeply with her audiences to say what's necessary. To hear her Jack Straw SoundPages podcast on belonging, click here. 
Past reading venues have included Orcas Island Literary Festival, Lit Fix, City Lights Books, The Make Out Room, and the San Francisco Motorcycle Club. Next stop: your town, festival, college or university. Make it happen, book time with Natasha by contacting her directly at dr.natashamoni(at)gmail(dot)com.
