Remember who you are with Kai Cheng Thom
My conversation with Kai Cheng Thom left my heart full and my commitment to my integrity during the COVID19 crisis galvanized. I am so grateful for her time and energy sharing her personal and professional reflections about the end of the world as we know it.
Kai Cheng Thom is a Canadian writer and former social worker who has dual master's degrees in social work and couple and family therapy from McGill University. She has published four books to date: the novel “Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl's Confabulous Memoir in 2016 (which Emma Watson named for her feminist book club), the poetry collection “a place called No Homeland in 2017, a children's book, “From the Stars in The Sky to the Fish in the Sea” in 2017 and “I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World” in 2019, a book of essays centred on transformative justice. She is a storyteller in the lineage of change-makers, and her message is simple: we need to discover a revolutionary love. She speaks this message in poetry, in song and movement, in words delivered straight from my soul.
Kai Cheng is also a facilitator, consultant, and sensitivity reader and has been featured in Teen Vogue, the CBC, and The New York Times, CTV and the Social. She offers DEEP LOVE, not tough love advice in her Daily Xtra Column, “Ask Kai: Advice for the Apocalypse” to help you survive and thrive in a challenging world.
