About me

I’m Sarah – a 28-year-old nonprofit professional living in Knoxville, Tennessee. I’m an East Tennessee native learning to understand my neighbors without losing myself.

My adult life has been plagued by disinformation, polarization, vitriol, and a lack of empathy. It is a hard time to care, and this site is my attempt to express what is going on. Maybe it’ll help others. Maybe it’ll be a time capsule for me.
