August 2025 Updates

Welcome, all! My updates for this month are written below.

• I worked some more on that fictional essay I’ve been writing, and I’ve also been working on another piece that will dive into an adoptee character. It’s still in its early stages of planning.

• I’m pretty sure I mentioned Daughters of Ferrix before, but I’ve been enjoying their most recent episode on the complexities of studying history and writing about history in both fictional and real-world settings.

Thank you for reading my updates! Feel free to let me know what adoptee-related writing you’ve been creating/reading and any cool podcast episodes you’ve been listening to in the comments. This month, I encourage you to check out the National Black Food & Justice Alliance, a coalition supporting Black self-determination and food sovereignty in the US. Additionally, The Okra Project is a mutual aid collective supporting Black Trans folks through food and housing security and mental health support. I also urge you to support the Rohingya Community Partners’ fundraiser to run a training program for Rohingya refugee youth and girls.
