A few weeks ago I spent my Saturday singing in a One Day Choir with Gaia Music Collective in Brooklyn. I was riding a high from the experience for days afterwards, and posted about it on Instagram. My friend Cloe Axelson invited me to write about it and today, it was published on WBUR's Cognoscenti, the opinion section of Boston’s NPR station. I’ve always loved writing. I’ve always loved singing. This process has been immensely gratifying and fulfilling. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me and edited me and pushed me some more. And a special thanks to Maggie Rogers, whose words take on more meaning with every listen. Here’s to doing more of what we love and sharing it with the world. https://lnkd.in/gUWwyRMt cc: Sara Shukla Marie Logsden Kanitha Snow Maribeth Romslo Kenter Davies Matt Goldstein

4moBeautifully written. I love this line: "Joy is so much bigger than the missive to 'be happy.' It’s a sense of belonging, a state of being that reveals herself in connection, in community."
