meet the interviewees

Here they are, in alphabetical order by last name. These are the generous and diverse group of individuals who spent an hour (sometimes more) on Zoom or the phone with me, sharing their experiences, insights, and wisdom. They range in age from 16-85, and represent a spectrum of political, racial, ethnic, gender, religious, ability, geographic, and socio- economic identities and sexual orientations. (Please note, not all interviewees wanted their photos shared. Thus, this image isn't representative of the full group; and the photos are arranged in random order. Also, a handful of interviewees requested to be anonymous.)
