Early life

Career

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she followed in her mother's footsteps as a full-time teacher in the Fort Worth Independent School District and was among educators participating in conversations about the possible need for virtual learning for students.[1]

Balial writes as a television and film critic (for Awards Daily TV,[2] and for rogerebert.com). As a freelance writer (for The New Republic, Vice, Slate, Wired, The Texas Observer, Lit Hub, The Week'', Harper's Bazaar, The Daily Beast, The AV Club, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Men's Journal, Pacific Standard, and Slate) she writes social commentary.
