I grew up right outside Richmond, Virginia. Yes, the former capital of the Confederacy. A place with a deeply-rooted history and heritage of the Civil War. Where the Confederate flag is just as recognizable and prevalent as the American one. Where our public schools...
Adventure into a far off place. A familiar foe who now has access to unlimited power. Emotional journeys into past trauma. Undying loyalty between a team who always is ready to help ? both those in trouble, and each other. No, it?s not Marvel?s newest movie or the...
There are more voices than I can count these days. And honestly, I?m sitting here thinking through this piece but heavily distracted by those voices. On the day I sent my son to his first day of kindergarten, parents concerned about mask requirements protested at the...
