ABOUT

My name is Cori Amato Hartwig, and I'm a twenty-seven year old writer, musician, comedian, and mental health and fibromyalgia advocate. Most of my work focuses on interpersonal relationships, mental health, the existential preoccupation of exploring of the self and identity, and the increasingly complex navigation of anxiety-inducing modern society.

Many people know me as @manicpixiememequeen–a meme account that I made in March 2017 to discuss topics like mental health, astrology, pop culture, and love and relationships through memes and (vaguely dark) comedy.

If you have any comments, questions, or business inquiries, feel free to reach out to me!
