what took me so long! I picked this book up a few years ago, when I was a new parent, looking for a guide, trying to learn how to do this thing called revolutionary mothering. coming back to it now, as someone with almost 10 years of parenting and caregiving under my belt, it’s made me feel seen and affirmed and held. this collection tells the stories of m/others at the margins- mothers who are Black, Indigenous, disabled, teen aged, solo. It talks about mothering as a social practice, as a queer practice, as a practice of transforming relations. I’m so grateful for this collection and I know I will revisit many of these essays again.
