About the author My two beautiful girls and I live in a little country farmhouse down in Southeast Texas. Every year we pick mulberries off the trees and wait with anticipation for the honeysuckles to bloom. Though I may be new to the writing industry in a professional setting, it has always been a passion of mine. Close friends will tell you this was something they always saw me doing. At the young age of nine when my fourth-grade teacher brought in an author to our classroom, I had this burning desire to one day be just like her. Spring of 2021, God woke me up at about 3 AM and said write. For a few seconds with half dazed sleepy eyes, I questioned Him. I still remember the words, “Ummm …. God …. life is sort of messy right now, you’ve got the wrong woman. “ Again, He prompted me to write. So, I agreed. I opened my black leather journal, turned to the back pages and my pen let loose. When I say this is a book from Him - let me tell you it is!! He gave me the title, the subtitle, the chapters and what every single one was going to be about. About two hours had passed and there in the middle of my living room floor feeling complexly broken - God was saying it’s time to share daughter. Within the short years I have been on this side of heaven, my life has been less than easy. I have struggled with feeling broken and have watched how this world creates sharp edges from those experiences. Yet through the years of watching my mother fall sick with a terminal illness, several miscarriages and a divorce - God picked up my pieces and made them into something beautiful. This book shares my heart and soul for people. I prayed many years ago for God to give me the eyes and ears to see people as He does. I believe through the experiences He’s allowed in my life He has done just that. The chapters mirror my desire or life mission as you will, to see people restored to a healthy state of mind.

Before They Were Men: Essays on Manhood, Compassion, and What Went Wrong by Jacob Tobia https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593797949 Gender nonconforming thought leader and bestselling author Jacob Tobia offers a paradigm-shifting argument for fundamentally reframing how we think about men. “A reckoning, a manifesto, a wellspring of curiosity, and an invitation to consider better ways of imagining masculinity.”—Amanda Montell, New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Magical Overthinking, Cultish, and Wordslut The conversation about masculinity, patriarchy, and misogyny has never been so prominent or heated. Alarmed by a new generation of angry, broken young men, genderqueer writer Jacob Tobia sets out to explore what’s going on and comes to a shocking conclusion: Emotionally and spiritually speaking, men and boys may be the ones suffering the most under the gender binary right now. Tobia should know. For their gender-defying adolescent heart, the nonconsensual process of being “made a man” was crushing. After spending a lifetime fleeing manhood and masculinity, they dare to ask the question: What happens if we stop understanding men as categorical beneficiaries of patriarchal institutions and start understanding them for what they are—co-survivors of patriarchy itself? In a series of personal and revolutionary essays, Before They Were Men argues that we must rewire much of our framework of feminism. Through this much-needed nonbinary intervention into a two-sided discourse gone stale, Tobia boldly posits compassion and empathy as the forces that will lead men—and us all—to a brighter future. Urgent, surprising, and counterintuitive, their book covers topics such as • the unspoken body image issues and dysmorphia confronting men and boys • the difficulty of challenging a world that glorifies war, aggression, and the violence of men • the case for rethinking, and ultimately retiring, counterproductive terms like “toxic masculinity” and “male privilege” From exploring the abuse endured by men in the name of gender norms to addressing the myriad failures of feminist discourse in grappling with men’s suffering, this book calls everyone—men, women, and nonbinary people alike—back to the table.
