About Roots & Wings: SS Parenting
Roots & Wings: SS Parenting is a creative nonfiction project that demonstrates the power of memoir to engage with communal narratives. Inspired by personal experiences raising children with sickle cell disease, it intertwines individual stories with the voices of other families, caregivers, and healthcare practitioners.
This project is more than a memoir—it is a testament to the resilience of families, the complexity of caregiving, and the strength found in community. By sharing these narratives, Roots & Wings: SS Parenting aims to educate, inspire empathy, and spark meaningful conversations about chronic illness, culture, and parenting.
