As a full time work at home mom, Kayla’s days are sometimes full of chaos, but always sweet! Kayla has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Michigan State (Go Green!), was a member of the United States Army Reserves, and currently works in the investigative field. Kayla has a passion for being creative, from graphic design to DIY home projects, and has had a lifelong goal of one day writing a book! Kayla and her husband, Patrick, have a miracle IVF baby, Maleiya, who is the light of their lives! For Kayla, this book is a way to ensure that families feel comfortable talking about the hard topics with their kids, so that together we can tear down and rebuild any system that fails to protect each person equally.

Ashley works full-time as an analyst, spending her days swimming in spreadsheets and loving every minute.  She has a bachelors degree in Business Administration, with a major in Accounting and a minor in Finance and Economics from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!).  Ashley and her high-school sweetheart turned husband, Josh, have three children, Elijah, Genevieve and Jack.  Together they founded a local Agnostic Community Support Group in early 2020.  They believe every person deserves kindness and support and they work tirelessly to foster a positive community.  This book, for Ashley, is one step further in helping to open up conversation and create a space for continued education and social growth.
