The 2025 desire survey is here and y’all are variously numbed out, embracing your k!nks, questioning if women are ever truly free to have sex in patriarchy, grasping onto pleasure as an antidote to cruelty, and so damn tired.

@GalleryBooks I don’t have the words for what that means—maybe I’ll find them over the next six months before the book comes out. For now, I hope you’ll pre-order to help launch this book into the world with me.

@GalleryBooks This cover is the first time that the three of us have been pictured together—my mom, the daughter she raised, and the daughter she never got to meet.

@GalleryBooks The family photo up top is of me as a baby in the eighties with my mom. The photo toward the bottom is a school portrait from the seventies of my half-sister Kathy, who was raised by adoptive parents.

It’s also about the power of sisterhood and the importance of understanding what we inherit from our mothers. It comes out May 5, 2026 from @GalleryBooks.

Book cover reveal!!! My memoir, MY MOTHER’S DAUGHTER, is about finding my sister through a DNA test, trying to understand our mom’s past, and uncovering a bigger story—about shame, family secrets, race, and the control of women’s bodies. https://t.co/fkhLZFdWNP

We are worked to death in the United States. It pits us against one another. Thank you @TracyClarkFlory for interviewing me about 4B separatism, heteropessimism, and more
