Celebrating Love, Resilience, and Community

This past weekend, families gathered for a moving conversation with Sole’s Mom author Isabelle Camille and her son, Sky Guilbaud. Over shared Haitian food and powerful storytelling, they explored the journey of raising a transgender child and the importance of open dialogue, community, and love.
