Had the same level of excitement of authors in their book unboxing videos, except mine was this beautiful issue of Grain. Love the journey through the covers for the 200th issue!

Our upcoming concert, "Here I am" at Saint Louis Women's Chorale, means a lot to me. It's been healing to sing this piece & I would love for you to experience this journey that celebrates voices, stories and strength of women through powerful text, music & visuals.
