Hi there 👋 I’m Grace Stetson.

Hello! I’m Grace Stetson, a journalist, writer, communications strategist, and political campaign manager based in Santa Cruz, California. As my name suggests, I balance a lot of different hats!

Over the last few years, I have built up my career in the journalism/writing fields across various parts of the United States — Seattle, Chicago, and Brooklyn â€” before returning to my native Bay Area in September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since arriving back in Northern California, I have found a home in Santa Cruz, a goldilocks town along the Pacific Coast, where I have continued to write, report, advocate, and generally do whatever I can under the sun to support my community’s needs.

My main topic areas include:

Housing & gentrification

Housing & business development

Homelessness

Social Equity issues

Travel

Film Criticism

Take a look at some of my selected work above, and feel free to reach out via email or social media if you’re interested in working together.
