Beautiful Girl Kit is Herself

Beautiful Girl Kit

by her mom, Sarah

Kit's interest in exploring and documenting the world is an essential part of who she is. She's twelve and lives in California.

Kit is passionate about supporting her friends, especially those who are genderqueer, as well as the human rights of everyone.

She is involved in a homeschool nature program in the mountains. When her group was doing introductions/check-in each week with the volunteer parents, Kit suggested that they include their pronouns as part of the talking.

By doing so, she gave two of her friends the confidence to claim their true gender and move forward on their journey of self discovery. She is a passionate supporter of people following their true paths.

She is deeply interested in art and storytelling so she uses homeschool learning about history and science to express her own tales. She hopes to use her voice to lift the lives of suffering people and the earth itself.

I’m so proud of her willingness to step into the gap and use her privilege to support people who need their voices and lives amplified.

She also loves Dungeons and Dragons, video games, Forest school, Stuffed animals, her phone, the work of Lin Manuel Miranda, Baby Yoda, baguettes, strawberries, sketchbooks, the Wings of Fire series, and her dogs.

Beetlejuice!

Kit and I went to New York City in April and had a wonderful time, including seeing Beetlejuice the Musical, which was her birthday gift for her 12th birthday. A couple of weeks ago she looked at me with a sad face and said “I really miss New York.”

I asked her what she missed, and she said “the noise, all the people, the honking, the buildings, and the amazing food. And Beetlejuice.” She is now looking at going to college in New York because she loves it so much.

And, last but not least, we just did a road trip to the Pacific Northwest to see all of Kit’s grandparents. The true highlight of the trip for her was that she is now taller than both of her grandmas.
