Testimonials

“Sarah has a unique ability to capture the joys and challenges of raising a gender-nonconforming child. Her natural ability as a storyteller, combined with her insightful reflections on her own journey as a parent, make her a compelling speaker for a diverse range of audiences. Balancing humorous anecdotes with poignant realism, she builds awareness, understanding, and acceptance of families and children navigating this challenging terrain.”

—Joel Baum, Gender Spectrum Education and Training
“Sarah's willingness to share the story of her family with my students has opened up new dialogue and understanding of children with diverse expressions of gender. The research she has completed with other families with children who cross gender "boxes" has been invaluable in helping teachers understand the perspectives of parents and caregivers and how we can support them as educators. We always appreciate her openness and willingness to share time with us!”

—Tracy Burt, faculty, Child Development and Family Studies Department, City College of San Francisco
“The first time I heard Sarah tell her story, I was in awe of her. Her loving, unconditional acceptance of her child is a model every parent should see. What a lucky child Sam is to get to grow up with Sarah as his mommy!”

—Susan Rahman, MA, faculty, Child Development and Family Studies Department, City College of San Francisco
