Writings on Wayfinding, Circling, & Capitalism+

I’m a storyteller, and my writings tend to reflect this. Often, I circle back to you with questions to reflect on.

When a Teacher Disappoints

Several days ago, I learned about a years-old incident involving two of my teachers that felt like a gut-punch.
