I'm so proud of myself and my students! I created Trauma-Informed and Relational Care for Libraries from scratch based on dozens of workshops I facilitated, participant feedback, and trauma-informed research and practice. Nearly 150 people took a bet on me, and here's what happened.

You know two kinds of people. The ones you can be honest with, and the ones you’re afraid to be honest with. Both of them are a mirror for you.

Asking ChatGPT to solve all your relationship problems before you go to bed will only feed your thought spirals. But being witnessed and seen by others? AND being guided by someone who’s been there?

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it! Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections. Use it or lose it!

No social justice movement can be effective until people shift how systems of supremacy show up in their behaviors. Equity isn’t just strategy. It requires healing, for you to unlearn codependency, to know your triggers and tend to them, and to not just know that you're worthy but to FEEL it. (1/3)

Punishment builds pain that is rarely expressed or integrated in colonial cultures. We learn that these consequences are somehow required, but we don’t learn how pain causes punishment too.
