Sisters Rising Publications and Presentations

“As a two-spirited person, I have experienced it. Being made to feel like my existence isn’t even worth a crumb of bread. Being made to feel like everything I am is shameful. Yes I would want to extend to youth to say we are surrounding you with love and dignity”
Sisters Rising participant
