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.

🌱 “These stories and poems got MY ancestors excited.” — Butterfly

From ancestral healing to collective liberation, your words remind me why I wrote Seeds in the first place.

⚜️This International Women’s Day I am resting from capitalism and internalized intergenerational trauma that tells me I must break myself to make sure I have enough. I am dispelling the deep rooted lie that I don’t deserve rest, kindness, or compassion.

Dear Readers, I highly encourage you to NOT purchase my book Seeds from @amazonwalmart.bsky.social Amazon, Walmart, + Target until they decide to reinvest in & treat #DEI as mandatory & not a trend.

You can support a #BIPOCAuthor + #SmallBusiness, by purchasing my book directly: DDAYEHUNTER.com.
