From the Author: “My goal in creating this resource was to provide creative artistic outlets for people in search of soothing and healing literary resources. I chose a variety of formats (written, video, etc) so that people could find their preferred medium of creativity and entertainment. The pieces I included were because I feel that they carry a level of emotional safety through their experience. They allow the reader/watcher/listener to be able to step out of the present for a moment, to escape, if only for a time, and visit a universe where they can be their whole selves, and potentially experience a main character in positions of love and safety. I chose pieces that I feel demonstrate levels of healthy and loving behavior exhibited by the main characters of the stories being told, or spoken about in various ways. I also wanted literature that provides a space where people can see themselves differently, through characters that they identify with, to perhaps also be a place to challenge heteronormative, patriarchal, and other behaviors that oftentimes cause harm. Finally, I wanted the list to be pleasure-filled : about loving one’s body, with affirmations and other healing modalities, with a focus on women and people who have experienced gendered violence.”
