This is another special solo episode with host Alica Gallagher following up on her last one about the election on November 5th.  It wasn’t the result she was hoping for, and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for her since election night.  

She chose to record a follow up episode to help process her own thoughts and feelings about all of it, and thought her story might be relatable to someone else out there.

She shares how the arts provided her a much needed place of refuge and comfort as she tried to regain her center, and how the words of Toni Morrison reminded her of the critical role artists and storytellers have in our society, especially during challenging times.  

And she explains how the lessons she learned while trying to capture a photo of the moon with her cell phone have given her a way to navigate this vulnerable moment and find her way forward, one small step at a time.
