The brilliant Leah Umansky asked me some smart and challenging questions in her Stay Brave series. I’ll paste an excerpt from one of my answers below. Thank you, Leah!
And here’s a pic of a brave little bush flowering against the odds of a cold spring a few years back.
“It feels that the most important thing we’ll be doing, trying to stay brave, is to survive – and especially, urgently, to help others do so. Many of our kin are at grave risk: those who are trans, undocumented, LGBTQ, young, BIPOC, disabled. Those of us with more privilege – I say this as a white, middle-class, straightish woman – will need to use that privilege to be in solidarity, side-by-side, with our at-risk kin.”
