Root To Leaf by Missy Pfohl Smith
I was honored to be invited by filmmaker and artist Mara Ahmed to contribute to her Warp & Weft series, a multilingual archive of stories that hopes to capture the zeitgeist of 2020. Learn more about the vision for this project by visiting https://www.maraahmedstudio.com/category/warpweft/. This is an organic, ongoing project, where responses to the archive can renew and expand it. Thanks for watching, Missy
