Every book sold is more than just a book. It's a commitment to learning, to building safer spaces, and working to be more active allies. In a time when anti-trans rhetoric continues to rise, the more each of us show up to advocate, the better!

I am excited to share that, since I first published "A Pocket Guide to Pronouns" in November 2023, I have sold over 800 copies! This is very exciting and humbling. I would love to get to 1,000 copies sold by the end of 2025, and I need your help.

The countdown is on - five more days till I host my Meet & Greet and Book Reading at Glad Day Bookshop in Toronto! Perfect timing for the Trans Day of Visibility (March 31) and a vital conversation about the importance of pronouns in building safer spaces.

I was honoured to join with many other amazing activists to protest Pierre Poilievre coming to town. Together we raised truly intersectional and social justice concerns. There is NO space for his politics of division and hate, and it's more important than ever for each of us to stand up!
