“Funny whipsmart, imaginary bestie”

“Alisa is one of the most thoughtful and hilarious writers ever. EVER.”
Nadia Gerassimenko, when hope writes
“Alisa is one smart, witty, electrifying cookie. I started reading her two columns The Empress and Gotham Girl two years ago and learned very quickly to not have liquids nearby while reading. She is a one woman, laugh-out-loud, tragicomedy act and infuses her work with infectious, tinkering curiosity, humility, advocacy and compassion that might just be the #1 super-smoothie to getting through life with sanity intact.”
