SAY HELLO TO JO.

"I’m fortunate to have found the amazing writer and activist, Josephine A. Lauren, as my developmental editor. They, like me, is an incest survivor with a distinctive voice, generous spirit, and intersectional approach.

Their somatic approach encouraged me to be braver, motivated by their courageous willingness to rock the boat and publicly name incest as a pervasive, often invisible scourge that continues to affect children, families, and society."
