Her book of fiction, Rid of Me: A Story, was published in 2007 as part of the cult-favorite 33 ⅓ series.

Known for being an accessible, engaging speaker, Kate has given talks at over 200 schools, libraries, and organizations. She's been in conversation with high-profile figures like Conan O'Brien, Megan Rapinoe, Margaret Atwood, Alicia Garza, Kate Hudson, gold medalist Ibtahaj Muhammad, and Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown. She's been a featured presenter at ComicCon and the United Nation's GirlUp! Summit.

As an educator, Kate taught Women’s Studies and Creative Writing at UC Santa Cruz, San Jose State, Rhode Island College, and Brown University; and served as the chair of the School of Literary Arts at Oakland School for the Arts for many years.
