Not a victory lap, but this mistake I made that went viral has been a rippling reminder that people really crave authenticity in communication.

I'm a real person. I'd be happy to tell your story.

I was excited to audition for a non fiction book on ending gun violence in America, until I got to the part where the writer identifies himself as an African American male with experience with gun violence. I'm a white woman with none. It's not my voice this project needs.

The butterfly, the egg, the caterpillar, the butterfly, over and over. In these lazy days of summer, keep in mind that everything cycles. Don't stop emerging.

I wear a lot of hats as a voice actor and audiobook narrator. Thanks to Jill Liebhaber @jookiekids in Chicago's Lincoln Sq. for catching some minnows with her clever eye and hands.
