About the Contributors

Tabitha Hamby

Tabitha Hamby is a newly transferred student to Sacramento City College, and this is her first semester writing and photographing for the Express. Tabitha especially seeks to support disabled and underrepresented folks through writing and sharing their stories. Having been raised in Washington state, Tabitha often found that to confide in creativity, nearly held the same meaning as keeping dry. She often explored her interests on rainy days indoors, through reading, journaling, doodling, and adopting her Dad’s camera as an extra appendage. After many different mediums and modes of living, Tabitha has discovered that writing is her home, that when “writing goes, she goes,” and so Tabitha desires to make a living off of doing just that. Between her love for words, you can currently find Tabitha back in the smalltown of her California birthplace, cooking, painting, playing vinyl, listening carefully, learning, relearning and binge-watching horror flicks with her grandma. After recently being diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Tabitha has grown passionate about advocating for herself and others with autoimmune diseases. Tabitha plans to transfer to UC Davis to pursue her bachelor’s degree in psychology and environmental studies. Tabitha aspires to specialize in helping autoimmune and disabled people through holistic therapy, and to empower others through her writing.
