#62: Take It or Leave It
A weekly drop of things I love
Take It or Leave It is a weekly highlight series for paid subscribers. Pretty much every Friday, I share a quick hit of things I’m loving.
Most of my writing is long-form and requires time for research between essays. Hopefully, this helps fill in the gaps for you with new finds (or things you want to revisit).
If not, all good. Take it or leave it ✌️
Hi! Let’s start with a few ICYMIs:
I’m in print! For my 614 Magazine debut, I interviewed local barber Jhon Alvarez about Columbus, Ohio’s star athletes trusting him with their hair—and the opening of his first shop. Hitting newsstands soon!
For my latest newsletter, I tried something new and profiled Louisville rapper Horace Gaither, whose latest album Miss Sissy Grandson is one of my favorite new discoveries. We discuss family, faith, lessons from our younger selves, and more. Hope you read & listen to the album!
8 years ago, I started Car Window Poetry. I wrote about starting a local art project that became a global poetry movement and then stopping—and what it taught me about each other and the power of our words.
