On Mother’s Day and every day, this genderqueer parent is here to say: young queer and trans folks deserve to be cherished. Nurturing can come from many places. I’m grateful to @people.com for running this excerpt of SO MANY STARS in which trans & enby elders of color share words for youth.

An *incredible* honor to receive this award 1) curated by indie booksellers (!) and 2) named for the late great Octavia E. Butler (!!). To receive this for such a trans & genderqueer & feminist novel, as our communities fight for survival, means more than I can say. Thank you. Gracias. Venceremos 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Books as medicine. Books as resistance. The galleys of SO MANY STARS have arrived and the love & gratitude I feel for the trans BIPOC elders whose voices are gathered here is boundless. Their voices nourish me so much & I hope they’ll nourish you too. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

It means so much to me to see SO MANY STARS in these Most Anticipated lists—a reminder, in the midst of the horror, of how many of us are still out here working and loving and championing the future we want to see. From Ms. Magazine:

Hi—I’m new here! I’ve written six novels & my next book, a trans BIPOC oral history, drops May 2025. Gathering these stories has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I can’t begin to express how these elders’ voices have inspired & sustained me. I hope they can inspire & sustain you too. 💜🏳️‍⚧️
