How timely for me—I picked up Nightbitch and Find Your Unicorn Space at the library yesterday! Thank you for affirming my selections :) Can’t wait to dive in. I love what Yoder said about community with other mothers being essential to understanding ourselves in motherhood and transforming our experience of it into something more beautiful than our culture sets up for us. I have found that to be true…genuine community feels like a big missing piece.
An awesome interview! It's so packed with recommended readings that like Lauren I just ordered Nightbitch and Find Your Unicorn Space. After such an inspiring and educational exchange, such books are not just recommended but required on my list. This truly exciting dialogue should credit the interviewer for publishing it and asking all the right questions, and so enabling Rachel Yoder to advocate her essential and entirely valid ideas. I'm sharing this with two black doulas and longtime friends in NYC who are currently serving to help mothers in this challenging age of COVID. Thanks for this expression of empathy. DD
totally totally loove this book! I just (read) and discussed this book with a group of womyn friends on her back porch on a lovely night last summer. I love the mystical/ magical realism aspect of the book and how she described it in her interview with you. I esp. loved all the art suggestions at the end. They were mind-blowing and can't wait to dig in more! thanks for sharing this. xx
