Dear listener and reader, this moment with you encourages us to bring forward all of our stories. Our voices are stronger in the presence of your generous listening. Together we learn how to express our experiences by interweaving memory, reason, and imagination. We look forward to a conversation with you while we remain true to the thematic approach to why i write. why i create: not one voice but many.
