QUOTES

“It feels easy to feel discouraged, but the truth is I don’t feel hopeless, because I really do believe [we are] forcing out a very strong light frequency through the darkness.” - Steph Plant

“The desire of my heart is to be able to share a deep hope, a deep peace, and a deep love, that we can embody, and then choose to send and share, and let that fly out to wherever it is that our soul wants to carry it to. I feel very far from the scene geographically, but I feel very close to the scene spiritually and emotionally. My heart is with the Palestinian people. My guts are with the Palestinian people. My cries and my songs are with the Palestinian people." - Steph Plant

"I wish for grace and I wish for mercy and I wish for a ceasefire and I wish for an end to the occupation.” -Steph Plant

“Collectively the more that we can step into our personal power - and our personal love and our personal truth and our personal peace - the less important our fear will be to us and that’s really the only thing we actually have control over - is our own internal experience and how we respond to our external experiences.” - Steph Plant

“Let this grief and this rage radicalize me towards more compassion and courage.” - Roza https://www.instagram.com/yallaroza 

“There is risk, but without doing it you’re risking never having the intimacy that you could have with that community or the power you could feel in actually making a change.” - Andrea Catherine Bachman

Mama Dragon Project - support for mothers with LGBTQ children

Meet Kimberly:

Kimberly Anderson is a transgender woman embarking on the second half of her life reinventing nearly every aspect of who she is. She was raised in an orthodox Mormon home, living as a boy on a horse-farm in rural Northern Utah. Anderson has both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Utah State University. For over twenty-five years she was a practicing documentary and fine-art photographer and was a university lecturer for ten years in Utah. She has worked all over the world with an emphasis in Asia and Scandinavia. She was married for twenty years to a woman and together they have raised two children. Currently Anderson is a recent graduate of the University of San Francisco with an MA in Counseling Psychology. She has been practicing as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the San Francisco and Sacramento areas with concentrations on Native American populations, adolescents, eating disorders, and trauma. Her particular specialty is working with LGBTQ+ youth and their families transitioning through various journeys of faith and spirituality. Anderson is the photographer and author of the Mama Dragon Story Project, an ethnographic study which features portraits and autobiographical essays from over 135 Mormon moms who have decided their love for their LGBTQ+ child is greater than religious dogma. Anderson has pursued a new spiritual path based on truth, science, and love.
