What does it take to overcome deeply embedded family traumas, career-ending betrayals, and failed relationships? What is the personal cost of keeping secrets—and staying in the closet?
These are questions that Mary Means explores in her memoir, as she navigates growing up as a young closeted lesbian in Georgia during the 1960s and learning to love—and be loved—as an adult. Through the deaths of loved ones, the fear of discovery, and the budding of a legacy that would come to change lives across the nation, Something Worth Saving tells a story of resilience and self-discovery perfect for anyone who has ever struggled to maintain a flawless facade when inside they were crumbling.
Mary Means is an award-winning leader, founder of the Main Street revitalization movement that has brought vitality back to countless town centers. Her candor and vulnerability permeate her remarkable story.
Centering the invaluable experience and expertise that Black scholar-practitioners possess in advancing equity, inclusion, belonging, and transformative, systemic change.

UNBURY YOUR GAYS
For centuries our stories of romance and love were hidden, coded within for future readers to decipher. There is none of that here.
Here's a shovel.
Twenty-five stories and poems explore the spectrum of queerness through love and lust, and a little blood. Twisted fairytales, possessed jewelry, a house that offers your desires but you can never leave, a god's bathroom glory hole, an asexual cult, and more show you THE PLEASURE IN PAIN.
What My Hand Say, on one hand is a bold unapologetic tribute of black people living their lives in South Carolina. While on other hand, it is a palpable reckoning with the state’s weighted
history.
