Lynn Soukup told her story at the Raven Narratives in May of 2026 when the theme was "mom/mothering". Lynn is the youngest by 12 years of five siblings. She moved to Cortez, Colorado in 2001, following her parents and favorite sister who all died of cancer in 2008. She's been a teacher all her life, whether of elementary students, or young moms just beginning their families. She suffers from camera shyness and feels that requiring a head shot in a bio borders on cruelty.
