#landloss

Hey, loves! Please add your voice to help shape this work. Today is the last day! @ekuaadisa & I have been dreaming up & building this work since the top of the year and are so excited to be supported by @highlandercenter's We Shall Overcome fund. So often, work is built without community input and without healing at its core. This is all about healing land-based trauma and while both of us have strong components of our lifework embedded into this initiative, we want to build it with listening ears. Add your voice. **Link in @Osatyam & @ekuaadisa's bio** Answer the questions you resonate the most with. ✨💓🌱💓✨ #HealTheLand #HealTheLandAtl #LandBasedHealing #HealingJustice #LandLoss #GriefWork

Nov. 2016

This blog--really more of a photo essay/documentation project--was started to chronicle the rapidly changing landscape of Charlotte's West Side. The blog's title was inspired by an interview that was done as part of The West Side People's Story Project, a digital storytelling project led by: @BettyYu, @guatemalia and J'Tanya Adams. In our story project we believe that language is power, and we encourage our storytellers to use words that 'matter to them' to describe what's happening in their neighborhood, and more often than not, what's being lost in the process. This blog represents a visual depiction of the process we hear about, and which I see in my neighborhood. The majority of pictures are within walking distance of my house--and a few others come from travel to communities facing similar dynamics. For the most part I'll let them pictures speak for themselves, and limit additional text.

Jesse Hardman interviews for WWNO and covers the environmental concerns near and dear to us all.
