Lisa Hickey is a television writer and screenwriter. She writes about issues of social justice that are woven into action-adventure stories featuring young female protagonists.
Growing up, Lisa often felt like an outsider among her peers because she would rather talk about political issues than play with her Barbie dolls.
Lisa is also CEO and Publisher of The Good Men Project, online magazine that talks about the changing roles of men in the 21st century. The website gets 2 million visitors per month, and has deep and provocative discussions about the big issues of social justice today—sexism, racism, lgbtqia, disability rights, climate change and more. Lisa draws from these experiences and infuses the issues into her screenwriting.
Lisa is also the occasional public speaker, stand-up comedian and slam poet.
