Shonda Buchanan

Such a water baby, even though I knew the sun was a smothered orange in the sky from the deluge of smoke, I jumped on the boat for the "sunset" cruise and keep my mask ready.

Here's me in the act of trying to live a writer's life, a good life, within the reality of climate change, global warming and attacks on our environment. Isn't that who we are now? There's a poem or short story here. Maybe another memoir...

Be safe out there, fam.

Prayers for Canada🇨🇦 and all the wildfire victims in the US and abroad🙏🏾🪶
