Good morning 👋🏼☕️. The first coating of snow sneaked in overnight. It probably won’t last long, but it lifted our spirits, and I am grateful, once again, to live amidst such grandeur and beauty.
May your day bring safe travels and peace in your heart. 🩵❄️🏔️

Watch this touching short doc (22 minutes) about a youth string orchestra of immigrant kids. The founder, an extraordinary woman & friend, built this program while facing an autoimmune disorder & breast cancer. The kids’ talent shines with the support of moms who juggle jobs and learning English.
“La Orquesta” is a powerful short documentary about a youth orchestra serving immigrant families along Atlanta’s Buford Hwy corridor. It shows how music, beauty, & community can transform lives, even amid health struggles & rising anti-immigrant sentiment. #Documentary #Film
