We invite you to engage with these two offerings by Dr. Maria P. P. Root.
As you read, notice how you feel. Consider what resonates, or what you might change or add.
As we continue developing our understanding of who we are and how we want to be in the world, we look forward to seeing new offerings like these. Dr. Roots’ words can help ground us in a society that is still learning how to engage with those who do not easily fit, or refuse to fit into socially constructed categories or roles.
