Mentors, colleagues, friends, family, students, and research collaborators

Writing communities like Heart-Head-Hands, DU Write in Place, and Lighthouse Writers

The daycare providers and school teachers who care for my daughter

All the people who clean and maintain the spaces where I teach and write

The original stewards of the land where the University of Denver stands, the Arapaho and Cheyenne Nations as well as bordering tribes like the Ute, who have yet to get justice for their stolen land
