Akaya said -- When failure leads us home : the trap of the American Dream -- Me and us : self-care in the context of community -- Love is abundant and every relationship is unique : the queering of friendship -- I love you 'til ashes or dird : family beyond blood and law -- The best of the people we know : the village we all need -- Make this space for people, make this space for me : navigating hardship -- A gathering and a calling home : the remedies are in our kitchens -- We can't build safety without community : healing repair and accountability.
