Vanessa, I just finished your piece. I am bawling in my living room with bittersweet sadness, joy and recognition of so many items in this essay. 💕💕 Beautiful work—thank you for honoring your family & the difficult relationship with your mother—they are with you always, that I am sure, from owls to hummingbirds and everything in between, and guiding your back as the Storyteller they deserve. ❤️

Love that this has happened, published excerpt, Owls, and all! Congratulations and a HUGE hug from the opposite coast! ❤️👏🏾
I read the whole essay. It’s stunning, I barely know what to say. Congratulations!
Congratulations! I get Agni's newsletter and saw your name and had a big smile.
How amazing, the wise owls--I cannot wait to read this essay, Vanessa. Those hand-written notes--primary resources--bittersweet.
