Tender… courageous… bold… powerful. I Had to Become the Father is a moving and deeply human account of transformation, healing, and self-reclamation. This is not simply a memoir; it is an invitation to boldly face our own story and discover the possibility of becoming whole.

The Souls of Queer Folk offers the reader an opportunity to contemplate the authenticity in the workplace, and the possibility of true freedom and self-actualization that comes with this liberation, if we allow the path laid out for us by LGBTQ+ elders and ancestors.
