Y’all are going to LOVE our guest today—she’s Lorie A. Woodward, a writer and community builder who’s made her home in Brenham. Lorie *sees* the people around her, and tells their stories with respect and a dose of dry humor. We all need a friend like this, who encourages and shoots straight and just loves her people so well. Lorie, thanks for sitting down with us! We can’t wait to do this in person! We encourage y’all to read any of Lorie’s essays you can get your eyes on, friends—she’s one to watch, and we can’t wait for the world to read more of her words!
