Mormonism

Brooks writes extensively about Mormonism and Mormon feminism and is often quoted in the media related to issues regarding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The Huffington Post writes, "Brooks specializes in explaining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to non-Mormons, and in presenting a different way to be Mormon to those steeped in its orthodoxy."[7] She wrote a question-and-answer blog from 2010-14[8] called "Ask Mormon Girl" with the tagline "unorthodox answers from an imperfect source". She also wrote as a senior correspondent for Religion Dispatches from 2011–14, frequently addressing Mormon issues.[9][10] In early 2012, she self-published a memoir called The Book of Mormon Girl: Stories from an American Faith, which was later picked up by Simon & Schuster and published by them in August 2012.[11] Brooks was noted as one of "13 Religious Women to Watch in 2012".[12]

Brooks sits on the Board of Directors for A Journal of Mormon Thought.[13] Brooks is described as a feminist and liberal Mormon, in contrast to the predominantly conservative culture of Mormonism.[14]

In 2017 Brooks was among and ten co-authors publishing "Shoulder to the Wheel: Resources to Help Latter-day Saints Face Racism ..."[15][16]

Personal life

Brooks is married to David Kamper and has two daughters. She holds a degree from Brigham Young University and a PhD from UCLA. She is a member of the LDS Church.[2]
