August 1, 2017 DoReMI 21

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Family and the Ties That Bind 5/2/17

May 2, 2017 DoReMI 33

April 18, 2017 DoReMI 25

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Patriarchy Dismissed Us 3/7/17

March 7, 2017 DoReMI 46

I’ve decided to continue the exploration of the unspoken history of our country as seen through political cartoons and messaging. I’m not doing this as an exercise in hopelessness. It’s easy to fall into that […]

February 28, 2017 DoReMI 27
