This was a beautiful series of essays. Truly changed how I view care work, myself, those around me, and recontextualized how I view the world. I cried, I grieved, I laughed, I felt held by these essays while listening to the author read her own book in her own voice. I'm very excited to read Care Work, when I have proper time to process it. For now, I am recommending this to others who want to grow their care, empathy, desire for change, and introduce them to disability justice, specifically because Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha seems to have shared a piece of her soul with the greater world, and it would be a shame if it's beauty wasn't shared.
