  • Storytelling, Part 2

    My love of storytelling comes from my parents, and rituals from my childhood. Books, of course, are a given. I could probably dedicate an entire blog post to my love of books, but that’s for another day. I was reading at a young age (not a brag, I swear), so books have just sort of Read more
