Congrats to @camilleuadams.bsky.social on pub week for her debut memoir, How to Be Unmothered! We did a Roots Wounds Words creative nonfiction workshop together in 2023, where I witnessed her brilliance in action as she worked on this book. Read/gift/share it, esp for my fellow estranged BIPOC folks
