Having a kid taught me that you have to figure out your joy
Jamaican-American poet and 2SLGBTQ+ activist Staceyann Chin courageously reclaims the art of mothering. "My mother's leaving me was the first wound." Staceyann Chin embodies multiple complex identities - poet, activist, lesbian, Jamaican-American, mother. But the most complicated of all is 'daughter.' Abandoned by her mother as a child, Staceyann has been seeking her out for decades, travelling the globe in a one-sided attempt to forge a meaningful bond with the woman who brought her into the world.
