It's a matter of life or death for our transgender and gender-expansive youth and adults. NOW is the time to counter the nonsense.
ALLY: acknowledges the presence of inequality and gives empathy; voicing support for equal justice in theory; prioritizes inclusion, i.e., prayers, words, thoughts, participation in rallies, etc...but not truly active in the heavy lifting toward true equity,
ACCOMPLICE: reactive support where the focus is centered on dismantling "cis-tems" (systems) that oppress members of the marginalized group - but following the lead by members of that marginalized group.
CO-CONSPIRATOR: taking action with marginalized folx in ways that could compromise one's status, position, opinion and/or person for the ultimate good and right; where your fight to disrupt cistems is loud, unapologetic, sometimes brash, but necessary.
Z introduced himself to his mom through the pages of a simple journal, where questions led to answers - where feelings led to realizations and pain led to a closer relationship between Mom and Son.
We look forward to bringing you an amazing journal like the one we created that represents truth, trust, transformation and teamwork.
Stay tuned!
mothasistah will be showcasing both books in the Life...According to Z series at the IABX Children's Book Festival on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the Warinanco Sports Center in New Jersey.
