This piece was dedicated to my father, prior to his death, and now lives in his memory after his passing in January of 2024. I wouldn’t be who I am without him, and I miss him every day. He asked that I take care of my mom and that we celebrate after his death, and that we did. Chosen family and community have been the saving graces every step of the way along our journey.

If you enjoyed the show, or you simply have a little extra means to donate, and you’re able to contribute to our family emergency fund, we would deeply appreciate it. While Mia in May of 2023 was feeling really on top and like they conquered strife, things quickly changed for my parents, as health often does.

Can’t donate? That’s okay. I can’t always donate either. Sharing this website and show with someone you think would connect with it means just as much if not more. Really <3
