Filmed the day before my brother Avery transitioned. Released now as I recover my voice from illness. Still timely. Still necessary.

In this week’s episode, Emma and I curl up in our pajamas with our “special guests” Kibou and Hiro to explore liberation through the lens of Week One of Dr. Dani Martin’s Rebel Writes journal, a 90-day invitation into liberation, critical consciousness, and joyful resistance.

From pajamas and therapy dogs to hard truths about inequity, mutual aid, and the then-current government shutdown, this episode reveals what liberation looks like through the eyes of a 10-year-old who feels deeply, loves fiercely, and believes wholeheartedly in a world where everyone gets to thrive.

It is tender, unfiltered, and full of the kind of clarity that only children can give.
