In an act of defiance of the slurs and insults thrown at women, author Lexy Wren-Sillevis reached out to the women in her life to ask them what the words and phrases that have been used to abuse them have been. From this project, Lexy created WOMXN: Sticks & Stones – a rewriting of sexist, belittling and shaming language. It’s a tool for breaking free from the stereotypes and impossible standards used to confine women, transforming them into messages of resilience and resolve. And, most importantly, it’s a rallying call for change, healing and empowerment.
In GROW, Frankie discusses her maternal mental health. Part narrative exploration, part first aid manual for mothers, this book will discuss the growing pains which take place when you become a parent. It is a brutally honest account of how hard it can be to grow a baby and raise a child whilst you are still growing into yourself and struggling with your mental health.
Adolescent cancer survivor M. Patricia Diaz was discovering the benefits of self-care decades before it became a buzzword.
