Rebel. Mother. Queen.
Rebel. Mother. Queen. is the raw, lyrical accounting of what happens when a woman chooses to stop performing and starts being. In this powerful collection of thirty-one essays, poems, and spoken-word pieces, Dr. Creary chronicles a "hero’s journey" from the depths of intergenerational and racialized trauma to the quiet, fierce strength of self-reclamation.
