i’m so glad you’re here.
hi! i’m jenai auman.
I am a Filipina American writer, artist, & storyteller living in Houston, TX with my husband and two sons. Drawing from my experience and education, I write on contemplative activism and holistic spiritual formation. My work has been featured on Christianity Today’s Better Samaritan Blog, Red Letter Christians, Christian Courier, She Reads Truth, and The Fallow House. I work to repair the fractures caused by systemic injustice and spiritual malformation. I do so, in part, by working collaboratively with individuals and organizations.
My first trade book, Othered, published with Baker Books in summer 2024. To connect and engage, you can find me on Instagram or Substack.
I’m glad you’re here. I’m rooting for you.
