My chapter “Restorative: Indigenous knowledge and land-based healing in the time of desertification” is in the #1 Amazon bestseller Artists Remaking Medicine, edited by Emily F. Peters from Procedure Press. Through conversations and commissioned works with architects, musicians, color theorists, writers, illustrators, physicians, technologists, and other creatives, this book reveals how artists are the most powerful collaborators for optimism, communication, and change in healthcare. Published in 2023.
With Dr. Rosalyn LaPier, I wrote “For Indigenous Peoples, Abortion is a Religious Right,” first published for Yes! Magazine and re-published in Aftermath: Life in Post-Roe America from She Writes Press. Aftermath: Life in Post-Roe America offers a searing look at the critical role Roe has played in improving women’s and pregnant people’s lives, what is at stake as it is overturned, what a future without Roe may look like, and what options exist for us to secure reproductive freedom in the future. Published in 2022.
