Award-winning author of NATIVE, LIVING RESISTANCE and WINTER'S GIFTS I write on care, solidarity, resistance, healing, truth-telling, and love. Fierce yet gentle. www.kaitlincurtice.com

This image is from my very first speaking event. I was there to tell a story, and little did I know it would open up the world—my world—to me. Being an author and public speaker is not as idyllic as we act like it is.

Right now we don’t need you to try and be someone else. This moment in history needs people who are dedicated to being themselves prophetically, who use their gifts to make the world a more beautiful, tender place in the midst of chaos, oppression and hate. Invest in your gifts. We need you.

I will need a lot of coffee today. Hey solidarity, friends. Send funny memes. Watch puppy and kitten vids. Stay UP, whatever you do, however that looks. Our little ones & elders need us.

Sometimes people ask how old I am, assessing what it means that I’ve written 8 books (3 adult, 2 kids, 3 coming). It doesn’t always catch up to me until I remember again. I’ve been writing since I was about 7yo, and I don’t really know anything else. Here’s a list of my books and why I love them.

In difficult times, we ask what our role is. As a poet and storyteller, as a healer, I have to ask these same questions. And the answer is in the medicine, in the words, the care, the embodiments of love. It’s in the way we show up to our souls and to the souls of others. Lean in.
