“I’ve been in a lot of rooms that called themselves inclusive. Roots is the first one that felt like home. There’s a difference - and it took me a long time to understand what that difference was. Inclusive means you’re allowed in. Home means you don’t have to shrink when you get there. I’m queer, and I’ve spent more years than I want to count managing how much of myself I brought into sacred space. At Roots, I stopped managing. I just showed up. And something unexpected happened when I did - being fully seen, fully honored, and held inside the grace of scripture rather than in spite of it, healed parts of my heart I didn’t even know were wounded.”
