the books
we are all connected, we are the stardust crew
-
We Are All Connected, We Are The StarDust Crew is a family workbook that encourages discussions with children, youth, and adults about how our lives are connected to each other through the Mycelium network and StarDust.
The book has us reflect on how we all experience a range of emotions, feelings, and experiences that remind us that we all navigate an abundance of circumstances in our lives. It is better to navigate our lives within our global community.
Felicia's poem and her conceptual book ideas, and Paul's extraordinary illustrations take you on a beautiful pictorial journey through our life's ups and downs. We experience problems with ourselves and others, and we experience solutions to those problems on our own and mostly within our community- being solutionary humane to ourselves and each other.

My Edges, My Life (coming soon)
-
The My Edges series is a culmination of over 70 pictures, each accompanied by poems and short stories of my hairstory evolution amidst oppression. Chapters include care practices and inspirations that sustained me through that chapter of life and ends with a reflective engagement question for readers to reflect upon their own hairstory while reading mine.
-
The My Edges, My Life and Our HairStories: Tails from Our Edges projects are motivated by my hair journey as a Black woman surviving oppression. My hair is the most vulnerable space of my physical body – it’s the part of my body that I’ve had the most shame around given the white supremacist beauty standards and the long-lasting repercussions of trying to acclimate to them.
The project is a double sided book, one side featuring “My Edges, My Life” and the other side featuring “Our HairStories: Tails From Our Edges”. It is through my art based healing journey that I realized this isn’t just about me. We all have a hairstory that impacts our access to humanity as external commentary of our hair becomes internal commentary about ourselves.
Culminating in a book tour centering community building via intimate conversations about one another’s hairstory, the Edges project shows us maturing and loving ourselves through oppressive ways of knowing and being.
Our Hairstories: Tails from our edges (coming soon)
-
The Our HairStories series features hairstories of other humans, normalizing to the reader that we are all capable of resisting oppression and reclaiming our edges that racism, capitalism, and patriarchy try to tame.
