This is the photo

of my grandmother. The look

of determination

in her face.

​

We started pretty small.

I started cleaning,

looking for the image

and the legacy.

​

My great grandfather

used to roast chicken.

"We're here to stay",

as if he was shouting it.

​

Uplift the stories

that make up our neighborhood and

think about

the way we can

honor our traditions.

​

Debrief.

Themes. 

Quotes that we love.

Conversations that we were having.

​

Unpack this

complicated past.

Are we part of it

or are we

not part of it.

​

The issues at hand...

conversations, 

we ended up

really having a conversation

we started having one.
