Kathy Shimeta I met with Gary yesterday
she’s spent many years reviving the work of Gena Branscombe
early feminist composer who ran women’s choruses too
operas and songs and Kathy a singer
fell in love with Gena’s music dedicated years
to finding out more, than figuring ways to tell us about her.

Ghanian cab driver Gariba fashion designer in Ghana
father of triplet he told me about the biggest

Miss Tasala and her number and said
she will change your life.
can't wait to hear about your visit to Miss Tasala and the life-changing-ness of it. Thank you for all this wonder-fullness.
Esther, I’ve been searching for a poem of my own - and your poem today gave me an idea to write about light myself. Thank you.
