    Blogcast: How we live is reflected in how we bury our dead
    2024/10/16
    Over two days, I visited two very different cemeteries: one is Simpson Cemetery in Belvedere, Delaware, that reflects the history of a community over the course of 160+ years, and the other is the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetry. The contrast made me think about how death and life are often connected in unexpected ways.

    Blogcast: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Memorial Grove
    2024/10/01
    I attended a Pow Wow the other day in Newark, Delaware. One of the most powerful moments was walking through a grove of red dresses commemorating the thousands of missing and murdered indigenous women and female children whose cases go unresolved, and in many cases, uninvestigated. Those who follow this issue say there are thousands more that go unreported.

    I'll be donating my red dress to this cause. Visit this website to learn more. It's an epidemic.
