🌲 Father's Day ☀️

Fatherhood takes many forms. It looks like quiet protection and love that doesn't need to be earned- and showing up, even when it's hard. We honour all men, and all those who identify as such, who give their wisdom and love unconditionally to those around them.

❤️ We want to name something that doesn't get said enough: men carry a lot. They carry joy and grief, tenderness and strength, and so often they carry it quietly. The softness that lives in the men of our community deserves to be celebrated just as much as anything else.

🍃 We also know that healing is real and courageous work. Facing intergenerational trauma, choosing different paths, breaking cycles for the people you love, that takes something deep. We see every man in our community who is doing that work.

🤍 To those walking alongside us, and to those we carry in our hearts. Happy Father's Day
