Belonging to Myself

“For every differently wired child who has been harmed by school systems, and for every parent raising such a child, Davina's work will bring you great comfort. She writes with candor and honesty about losing her son Sam after significant school-related trauma, and the ways in which we can prevent these tragedies from happening to others. I highly, highly recommend her!”...”

“I love Davinia's memoir! She's brilliant. I enjoy reading about what it's like to be the really smart (and smart-mouthed) girl in class. She's honest and daring. I think I might want to be her in my next lifetime. Her more mature posts are thoughtful, loving, and insightful. Reading her gives me hope and a sense of agency.”...”

“Davina’s writing is raw, thoughtful, and deeply moving, weaving personal story with a profound compassion for children who are misunderstood by our education systems. This publication speaks to anyone who has witnessed the harm caused when sensitivity and difference are misread — and who senses that learning should be rooted in belonging rather than compliance. A powerful, humane invitation to reimagine how children are seen and supported.”...”
