The storytelling continues. The medium is ever evolving. My memoir, The Upcycled Self, is live for preorders and releases on November 14th. I’m so proud of this work. It’s been years in the making. A close look at my childhood…the era that made me.

You can stop whatever you're doing and look up how to do this. Easily. Look up "emergency foster care" too.
For now if you want to support Erica Garner . Go find a way to support your local foster care system. The last action she told me she wanted to do was to support foster kids as she was one herself. The person with her when she died was her foster mother. .
