"In order for me to keep my faith in myself, in my business, and in the life I'm building, I have to be able to sit down and find moments to dream and visualize what that could be like."

Today on "As Spiders Do," LaTonia Cokely, '06 shares her life's journey - from first-generation college student, to losing her parents in her 20's, to teaching middle school and most recently, starting her own teahouse. We explore how grief, joy, play and dreams shape our lives and who we are.
