Thank You, Maggie O'Farrell and Michelle Obama
I'm thrilled that my essay "Walking Alone--Dangerous or Heroic?" is published in the spring issue of Canadian magazine Prairie Fire.
There were two inspirations:
In her wonderful memoir Becoming Michelle Obama wrote that if you didn’t see your own story in the cultural narrative, tell it. I’ve never seen my story in the cultural narrative. This is it.
The structure of this essay is stolen from the brilliant Maggie O’Farrell’s memoir I Am, I Am, I Am . I took her bits and reduced them further to essay size.
Thank you, Prairie Fire!!! Thank you, friends, for reading this if you feel so inspired. It's not online, but you can buy it here: https://www.prairiefire.ca/current-is...
