Avery Russell has lived most of her life in New York City, with fourteen years in Colorado and four years thus far in the home of her birth, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, she was on the senior staff of Carnegie Corporation of New York, a general-purpose philanthropy, for thirty years, and wrote or edited many of its reports. After returning from a year or more in Paris following her sojourn in Morocco, she became editor and conference organizer at The Asia Society and the Southeast Asia Development Advisory Group, the latter supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
