What We Owe Our Sons: Parenting, Protection, and the Price of Survival is an honest examination of what we teach boys about strength, safety, silence, and survival, and what it will take to give them something different.

Through personal reflection, research, and the voices of men and boys, Rashida Saunders explores the conversations families often know how to have about protecting our sons from the world, while asking what happens when we do not prepare them for what they carry within themselves.

This is a book about responsibility, accountability, belonging, and raising the next generation with greater intention.

Permission to Break is a memoir about finding the courage to stop holding everything together alone. With honesty and depth, Rashida Saunders reflects on a childhood shaped by silence, the unseen toll of policing, and the slow work of healing through motherhood and therapy.

Her story reveals that true strength is not just survival, but the willingness to be seen, to speak, and to choose love over fear. Permission to Break is an invitation to lay down what’s heavy and remember that you don’t have to carry it alone.
