Picture a white man in a suit who apologized for and learned from his mistakes; evolved his positions and clarified them when criticized; calmly answered aggressive questions; pinky promised with little children to remember important moments; and stood for hours to take pictures with every single person who wanted one — in heat or cold…

Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2019

December 29, 2019 by WendyB

I started out 2019 with a fashion choice that was simultaneously rare for me … yet typical. What was rare that I wore a dress that I’d never worn before. What was typical for me is that I’d owned the dress for four years before wearing it once.  And this wasn’t even the longest I’ve…

She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” I instantly knew “PERSIST”…
