Cassandra Lane

We Are Bridges, A Memoir

Winner of the Louise Meriwether First Book Prize

A lyrical memoir reconstructing the lost history of a Black American family.  When Cassandra Lane finds herself pregnant at thirty-five, the knowledge sends her on a poignant exploration of memory to prepare for her entry into motherhood. She moves between the twentieth-century rural South and present-day Los Angeles, reimagining the intimate life of her great-grandparents Mary Magdalene Magee and Burt Bridges, and Burt’s lynching at the hands of vengeful white men in his southern town.

We Are Bridges turns to creative nonfiction to reclaim a family history from violent erasure so that a mother can gift her child with an ancestral blueprint for their future. Haunting and poetic, this debut traces the strange fruit borne from the roots of personal loss in one Black family—and considers how to take back one’s American story. 

“We Are Bridges makes a stunning contribution to what must become our collective memory.” —NPR

“In this narrative, Lane seeks an origin story, searching for what facts are available and wondering about the legacy she is passing on. . . . A multiangled exploration of family trauma and the forging of an identity.” Kirkus Reviews

“An exceptional memoir of self-discovery through family histories.” Foreword Reviews (starred review)

Karen Tate

Karen Tate, seven-times published author, speaker, and social justice activist was named “One of the Thirteen Most Influential Women in Goddess Spirituality” and has been called a Wisdom Keeper of the Goddess Spirituality Movement. She is the ‘Original Podcaster’ hosting her Sacred Feminine radio show for a decade in  early 2000’s with such iconic forerunners of the Mother Spirituality movement such as Lydia Ruyle, Pat Monahan, Z Budapest, Riane Eisler, Starhawk, Carol Christ, Isaac Bonewits, and many more.  She is in the process of re-releasing these early shows.  Be sure to sign up on her website for her newsletter for notice on their release!

Karen Tate’s latest book  Normalizing Abuse; A Commentary on the Culture of Pervasive Abuse takes her three-decade mission to help awaken folks to a whole new level, but in hindsight, it was also a catharsis for her recovery and comeback.  In losing everything, the blinders fell off for this social justice goddess advocate.  She saw how even the most aware among us are in denial and normalizing abuse in our lives. “We think it’s just the way it is. And we absorb the accompanying trauma. From womb to tomb we endure abuse and exploitation we don’t acknowledge and it affects our outlook, our decisions, and our futures.” 

The book has gotten rave reviews from her peers and in the foreword by the beloved activist Rev. Matthew Fox, he applauds Karen, the wounded healer, “who brings hard-earned compassion and a sense of justice to the all important discussion of how we can all be healed and become healers and grow into better, fuller and generous human beings.”  Fox recognizes the book as a practical treatise on evil with a warning flag, that the “sins of our fathers” can rebound and go on generation after generation if they are not checked.  Rev. Fox encourages us to heed Karen’s call:  Let’s courageously re-examine and eradicate the toxic in our lives.  Let’s find our exit strategies and re-set healthy boundaries.  Let’s heal from the traumas old and new so we can manifest a new normal in both our internal and external life.

Jonita D’Souza

Born and raised in the tropical islands of Andaman, India, Jonita left home at the age of 17 to find her identity. Little did she know that the awareness that she was seeking would bring her to London, UK where she found the freedom and expression of her womanhood. Soon she was caught in the rat race and competition of the Western world, burnt out with severe illnesses which made her realize that she had to lose her societal identity to discover her real essence. After several years of immersing herself in to the spiritual learnings of the divine feminine and discovering her real essence as a woman, she made the decision to pass on this wisdom to as many women around and invite them on a journey of exploring their femininity. In 2012, Jonita founded the company ‘Exploring Femininity’ running monthly women’s circles, online workshops, sacred femininine retreats and private coaching. Since then Jonita has been featured in several media platforms.


Jonita D’souza is a Self Leadership Mentor, Feminine Lifestylist, and Creatress of Feminine Empress Codes, assisting modern day busy women who struggle with burn-out, body-love and authentic expression to reconnect with their feminine and sensual energy using the ancient feminine Taoist Tantric somatic arts. Jonita is also a certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Master Hypnotherapist and combines the teachings of feminine mysticism and shamanism in her work.

Jonita believes that it is the responsibility of the 21st century women to explore their femininity, so that they can create a sustainable life for themselves, for their loved ones and for generations to come.
