to decode power ...
Hi there! I'm Maddie, a cultural critic and journalist who treats pop culture analysis as intellectual work that reveals important societal patterns. As founder and editor-in-chief of The Convergence Lens, I create content that bridges fandom knowledge with political reality. Our community of fandom nerds looking to spark change grows stronger every day!
My work is for audiences who understand that analyzing fictional characters can be just as revealing as any political op-ed, and that caring deeply about fictional stories makes you more equipped to recognize real-world patterns, not less serious about important issues.
