In early January of 2008, I was going through a YouTube rabbit hole, late one night, when I stumbled upon a video that changed my life forever. It was a Law and Order: Criminal Intent tribute video and the song playing in the background was “Innocent Eyes” by Australian musician, Delta Goodrem. There are manyContinue reading “An Evening with Delta”

Podcast Interview: LGBT+ Students in Higher Education
At the conclusion of my Diversity and Equity course for the EdS program at Appalachian State University, we were tasked with each creating a project, in the form of our choosing, to show what we learned and retained during the semester.

WE DID IT!
A little over nine months ago, shortly after the death of my dearly-departed great-aunt, Eva McCall, a feeling came over me, telling me I needed to do something to keep Eva’s name alive, her legacy surviving long after she she departed this earth.
