DPN Featured Episode: Family Proclamations – Pink Shoes (with Abi Maxwell)

In this deeply personal episode of Family Proclamations, author Abi Maxwell shares the transformative journey of understanding her daughter’s identity in a conservative New Hampshire town. Abi’s daughter, who was “known” to her family and community as a boy, longed for pink shoes, dance costumes, and to express herself as the girl she truly was. What started as a learning experience for Abi about transgender identities turned into a fight for her family’s safety amid the storm of controversy.

Abi Maxwell, author of Lake People and The Den, discusses her latest book, One Day I’ll Grow Up and Be a Beautiful Woman: A Mother’s Story, and reflects on the challenges, fears, and fierce love that shape her advocacy for transgender youth.

Join Abi and host Blair Hodges for this powerful conversation about family, identity, and courage in the face of opposition.
