I think every parent trying to protect their child wants to be the bulletproof vest. At the same time, we also know that we shouldn’t necessarily protect them wholly.
"I think every parent trying to protect their child wants to be the bulletproof vest."

'Letter to My Transgender Daughter' - Walking Through the Steps of Acceptance
"If you are someone who loves a child – any child, even a cis child – be prepared to have your heart fall out of your chest. Letter to My Transgender Daughter is an absolute read for parents and for trans adults."
Love this heartfelt review in Out South Florida.

A book in a pile of fallen brown and red leaves. The book's cover has a cream background with the title "Upon Her Shoulders, Southeastern Native Women Share Their Stories of Justice, Spirit, and Community" edited by Mary Ann Jacobs, Cherry Beasley, and Ulrike Wiethaus. The top and bottom of the book have a yellow, red, and turquoise-colored design by Lumbee artist Jessica Clark.
November is Indigenous Heritage Month, and we hope as part of the (year-round!) honoring and celebrations, you'll enjoy the chorus of Native women's voices in UPON HER SHOULDERS. This anthology includes stories, essays, interviews, poems, and calls to action for justice, spirit, and community.
