Executive Director for Carolina Public Humanities at UNC-Chapel Hill was kind enough to congratulate me on my photograph “Bared Roots.” My photograph was chosen as the second-place winner. Here is the photograph and the essay I wrote and submitted along with it.

Last year I submitted one piece and it was published. And as this is a confidence building exercise for me, I went ahead and upped the anti… and submitted multiple pieces this time.

I’m happy they were accepted.

Estuaries is a wonderful, open to the community magazine, which for anybody who has submitted work to other outlets, understands the challenge to find welcoming spaces. There is a lot of no’s in the world.

So thank you to the staff and COA for allowing us a welcoming platform for our voices and our visions.
