After reading some of Danielle's work, I ordered her book immediately. You should check it out.
My book has officially launched! Pre-orders will be shipped shortly. I hope this book serves as a reminder of our resistance and resilience in community as we fight for our collective human rights.
Please share with anyone who could use a fiery little book of poems.

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

Imagine evangelical "Christian" Mike Johnson characterizing Bishop Budde's plea for mercy for the vulnerable and disenfranchised as "radical ideology".
