About Lunah Steph

Gracie is a storyteller and intersectional strategist whose work sits at the intersection of lived experience, advocacy, and imagination. Rooted in love, resilience, queerness, and disability, she writes and builds from within realities, transforming lived experience into stories, ideas, and strategies that hold, question, and connect.

Across memoirs, essays, and books,  her work explores the complexity of being queer, disabled, and displaced, while her strategic practice shapes conversations and approaches to disability justice and systems change. At its core, her work is an invitation to imagine and create worlds that are more just,  inclusive, and human.

Her writing explores the beauty and struggle within those realities, while celebrating the courage it takes to live unapologetically. Each book carries a thread of truth and hope, an offering to readers who seek light in difficult times.
