Intersectionality is a huge topic covered in this book, it felt really good to read Leah Vernon’s story- through all the challenges she faced she overcame, and came into her own. It’s relatable, very down to earth and personal. ❤️

Very emotional, a beautiful story of one trans woman’s hardships and most beautiful moments. Definitely had me feeling all sorts of things. Also a good recc for people learning about queer history/struggles.
