For Our Sisters: The Fulton sisters

What is it like being a twin? It is great. You live with your best friend. We have gone through everything together. She is a sounding board, my accountability, calms me down when I get riled up about things. She has my back when opposition comes. She can talk for me when I can’t get […]

For Our Sisters: Carol Olivarez and Amy Norris

I’m the oldest of three and have two brothers; when I was younger, I didn’t feel the need for a sister. But the older you get, the more you need to have a strong female relationship in your life. That’s what I get from Amy — she’s the sister I never knew I was gonna […]

For Our Sisters: The Roebuck sisters

My sister gives me confidence to be myself, strength to keep pushing forward, laughter when I feel down, and most importantly, she offers her support and love for me and my family. I give her headaches, drama, support and the shirt off my back if she needs it. Our babies are so close in age, […]

For Our Sisters: The Chimienti Sisters

My older sister has taught me to keep going in life. Seeing her go to college and move away from home has been in- spiring to me, because I can see that it is possible. She also has taught me that no matter what I put my head to in life, I will be able […]

Michelle Mia Antallan: What have you been thinking lately?

Thank you for being the first early inspiration in my life; being the first grandchild allowed me to have all the perks (and favoritism, I think) to learn from you. I am very far away from home and you are getting older; I can’t stop thinking about having fears of you getting sick or something […]

Johniqua Fort: What have you been thinking about lately?

A timeless letter from your mama … I’ve started this letter over and over countless times. Few times on paper, several times in my head. A simple question of, “What is something you’ve been thinking about lately?” turns out to be not so simple, honestly, because I am always thinking about everything. If I had […]

Anwyn Suhr: What have you been thinking about lately?

Do you ever catch yourself getting lost in the past? It’s been a bad habit of mine lately. Today, I filmed a beautiful wedding in this old cathedral full of artwork, sculptures, intricate wood carvings. And as I observed each work, each Biblical painting, each deliberate carving of the sculptures, I found myself lost in […]

Leni Santoro: What have you been thinking lately?

Perhaps it is because spring has come that I have been thinking about when you were little and we would plant the garden together. Or perhaps it was seeing the way the sun shone on the grass after the early morning rain shower, releasing into the day a thousand small, shining glimmerings of a garden […]
