Braiding Sweetgrass (https://milkweed.org/book/braiding-sweetgrass) is one of the best books Lin has ever read.

Margrit loved A.I.M’s Mixed Repertory contemporary dance performance (https://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/torque/mixed-repertory-program/). The NYC-based company blends hip-hop with classical and contemporary styles to raise questions about how we defined ourselves as individuals, how we relate to history, and how we create community with diverse perspectives.
