The people above are writers, playwrights, photographers, visual artists, urban planners, DJs, college students, etc. I like that the list is so varied. I look forward to adding more names. Maybe yours?
You know the themes: legacy, continuity, work one devotes one’s life to, mentorship, stewardship, a sense of connection to something larger than yourself. It’s pretty broad. I’m looking for visual art, video, interviews, poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. Send me an email and maybe we can work something out.
