On The Vine: Your mere existence is miraculous Savanna Smith and Sharon Hoffmann, The Kansas City Star Mar. 11—Hey, y'all. I am so excited to have this chance to talk directly with you here. Trey has created something special and I'm pumped — honored, really — to be trusted with it this week. If you missed it last time around, some of the women on staff are taking over the newsletter in March for Women's History Month. Now, I've got to take a deep breath. Since we spoke last week, this video has made the rounds. I don't recommend watching it. It dredges up a lot for me, and I imagine others, too. It's damaging, plain and simple.
