Father's Day Featured Story

Passed Down

By Mentee Lena Habtu & Mentor Sammi LaBue,
Mentee-Mentor Pair

Lena and Sammi in a split-screen reading their poetry

"I stumble through my memories, cloth over my eyes, grasping blindly at someone who may as well have been a ghost, a daydream, a figment of my imagination entirely..."

This poem, co-written by mentee-mentor pair Lena and Sammi, is a beautiful meditation on the shared experience of losing their fathers. However you experience Father's Day, we hope this poem opens up a space of love and compassion for you.

“Sometimes God crosses our path with certain people to teach us to continue to move forward in our own lives. Those people nourish us, they push us, and they teach us to believe in ourselves. For me, my mentor Jill is that gift, and I have been extremely lucky to have her in my life. She always amazes me with her open-mindedness and her knowledge of every little thing in the world. I greatly appreciate her presence in my life.”
-Laila Dola, Girls Write Now Mentee
