ABOUT THE BOOK:

Mammy is Dead is a collection of mirrored tales and an invitation to a journey within, where one can discover their own stories of healing, rest, resilience, grief, and joy. It is a catalyst and a reminder of the Divine wisdom and beauty within the self.

​

Their book reflects their diversity and how these things intersect with their spirituality and magic. They hope to reach people like themselves first and foremost and those who do not navigate this world as they do. In this they have a goal of creating kinship with “the othered” that leads to positive allied action. Their hope is that they can be joined on this quest of creating a sovereign embodiment and that our souls which are torn from surviving in this society be stitched lovingly and gently into a pattern of our own design.
