In the summer of 2020, anti-racism marchers arrived on the steps of the Turner Contemporary in Margate while it was hosting the exhibition We Will Walk â Art and Resistance in the American South.

After being furloughed in March of 2020 (I had been a publicist and social media manager), I was worrying a lot about what was ahead. On one of my lowest days, my fiancé persuaded me to join him outside and build a garden in the backyard of our Woodbury, New Jersey, home.
We plotted out the beds and filled them with compost soil. I noticed I was becoming less and less paralyzed by my anxiety over my job as we worked. Day after day I started to look forward to our gardening work. It allowed me to be creative. It brought me joy.
