Advocating for change: words of wisdom from Jenna

Advocating for change: words of wisdom from Jenna Winters

"My kids were going to get older and study American history in school one day. It was inevitable that they were going to read about 2020 in their textbooks and ask me what I did—what part did I play? I’m going to have a lot to share, and I’ll say that I did it all for them.

I’m going to tell them how I spoke up about the racism that existed in their extended family.

I’m going to tell them that I fought for all kids to feel like an integral and valued part of their schools.

I’m going to tell them that I fought for everyone to feel seen and heard within their church community.

I’m going to tell them that I told my story in hopes of motivating those who shared my struggles to stand up and tell their stories as well."

Jenna's memoir, Takes More Than Love, is out on 3rd September.

Written with heart and insight, this darkly comic novella delves deep into the lived experience of schizophrenia as we follow the narrator through the pulsating city of Schizotopia, where the streets are a vast neural network, the buildings are complex data stores, the flickering lights are messages shooting between synapses, and the other pedestrians are thoughts: some half-finished, others fully fleshed out, each of them unique and complicated.
At the heart of the city, in the penthouse of the Oblongata Building where the mastermind hides, lies the answer to Flora’s disappearance, and—with luck and courage and the right medication—the key to bringing her home.
