“The arts and humanities define who we are as a people. That is their power — to remind us of what we each have to offer, and what we all have in common. To help us understand our history and imagine our future. To give us hope in the moments of struggle and to bring us together when nothing else will.”

~ Michelle Obama

During the launch of Humoranities, like all of us, I have been taking in sobering news daily. Sharing this endeavor with family, friends, and the new community I’m building has been a therapeutic reminder of the interconnectedness of humanity, my faith in humanity, and the peace longed for by all of humanity.
