Repealing birth right citizenship when your ancestors illegally seized and colonized this land is crazy business. It’s projection in its finest form. Don’t get me started on censoring LGBTQIA stories in schools. The Supreme Court is on one today.

A love note to the aunties, the moms, the caregivers, the cycle-breakers, the medicine carriers:
You’ve held so much. Now it’s your turn to be held.
Let this be your reminder: Eat the berries. Take the nap.
Have a “look at the moon!” moment. Be whoever you need to be.

I never stopped wanting to eat the berries 🍓 That’s why I wrote Hasi Čhigǫ:yǫ (Sweet Berry)—a children’s book in the Yesáh language to help our babies (& inner kids) feel seen, heard, & powerful in their joy and culture. Wanna read it or gift it? It’s waiting for you at ddayehunter.com/shop.
