Episode 2: Arianne Edmonds

This month we’re joined by my beautiful sister Arianne Edmonds of the J. L. Edmonds Project. Ari and I met over a year ago as cohort mates in the USC Civic Media Fellowship. It felt pretty obvious from the start we were supposed to know each other; and in that time we’ve built a sisterhood that allows for a soft and sturdy stillness, one where we find immense joy and deep reflection. Ari has that way about her, and I think you’ll feel it as you listen. If I had to think of a theme for this episode I’d say it is “nothing is lost.” Arianne digs into her journey to archiving and sharing her great, great grandfather’s work, how a year in Ghana changed the way she creates, and how she’s looking at her contribution to her family’s legacy differently than before.
