My Blog I am making this blog because, when I go to look for Unitarian Universalist resources, there aren’t many. And there are even less written by youth or for youth. I write on anything that impacts my life, whether…
The Fleece Blanket of Constellations above us
A couple months ago, I submitted to my university’s student zine, astr, a short essay about space, and it was accepted and printed! I was very excited to see my words in print, and I thought I should share them…
A list of resources for youth
