Unfurling

Auteur

Maya Gonzalez is a ferociously quirky femme with a deep love for daily drag and dress up. She's also an artist, progressive educator and award-winning children's book illustrator and author. Her work focuses on art and story as powerful tools of reclamation and transformation both personally and culturally. Currently her primary tool of activism is creating and publishing radical children's books that tell the truth of who we are and what we can be. She invites grown-ups and kids alike to do the same through her online school and free kids program that teach a holistic approach to creating and publishing children's books. Maya lives and plays in San Francisco with her partner Matthew and two freewheeling kids. Together they dance the wheel. www.mayagonzalez.com

Voice begins deep within. Along the back corridors and secret passageways. Voice begins at our silent center, the core of our being where everything exists at once. Vibrating. Within each of us is a path from inside to outside. Look for it. Within each of us is a silence of truth longing to be expressed. Feel for it. Within each of us is a voice ready to spiral OUT into an enormous sky. Unfurl it. Dropping into the spaces that live within, Unfurling invites us into the dance between silence and story until we can let go into our own expression. We need your Voice. We need your Revolution The final book in the anthology trilogy from The Heart Of It Collection.
