What do you do when the American Dream was never meant for people like you?On the day the Supreme Court legalized her marriage, Rev. Dr. Angela Yarber and her queer family did something radical: they sold everything, bought a camper named Freya, and spent two years wandering the American landscape, searching for a dream that actually fits.This isn’t your typical road trip memoir.Queering the American Dream is a raw, defiant reckoning with faith, family, and freedom. As Yarber follows in the footsteps of revolutionary women from history and myth, she confronts:The death of institutional religion and what rises in its placeAddiction, grief, and survival on the marginsParenting while queer in an America that refuses to see youWhat liberation actually looks like when you stop waiting for permissionFor anyone who’s been told they don’t belong-in church, in their family, in America itself-this book is your roadmap to creating something better.With unflinching honesty, dark humor, and visionary imagination, Yarber doesn’t just critique the American Dream. She builds a new one-not for the privileged few, but for all of us living on the outside.*****Queering the American Dream is published by Tehom Center Publishing, an independent press publishing feminist and queer authors, with a commitment to elevate BIPOC writers.Discover more groundbreaking books at tehomcenter.org

  • Holy Women Icons Contemplative Coloring Book
    Angela Yarber
    Holy Women Icons began as a painting project, giving traditional iconography a folk feminist twist. Across the vast pantheon of a virtually all-male sainthood, I noticed something was missing: women. Where were all the holy women across spiritual traditions? I’ve painted over 50 Holy Women Icons and recount their stories in my 2014 book, Holy Women Icons. Now is your chance to ...

I'm also tremendously grateful for all the people who have supported my art by purchasing or commissioning an original icon or buying a print. It means a great deal for someone to fi...
