Sure, there are plenty of memories made, the sweet snuggles and witnessing your tiny humans discovering things in their world for the first time—but there is also the weight of worry and responsibility. Parenthood takes love and patience and perhaps…courage. Featuring stories by Dawn Ellis, Adam Blodgett and Tiffany Aldrich MacBain- this line up will explore the shared experience of parenthood through different filters of lives lived.

But whether we're Black, Muslim, Latina, Asian, or a mix of everything, we know what it is to be on the outside of things and we've got things to say -- things that people may have never heard before and things they may not have wanted to hear. Featured readers include: Jesi Vega - Jesi Vega, Danielle Villegas, Laila Tova Ivellisse Morales, Jamika Scott, Judy Cuellar, Gloria Muhammad, Katherine Felts, Jasmine Hernandez And Faith Brown.
