The Geography of Connection

A field-journal project about how women create belonging in the world. After writing The Purpose of Getting Lost, I found myself wondering what those same elements—freedom, acceptance, confidence, risk, adventure, and community—look like in other women’s lives. This project grew from that question. The Geography of Connection traces how those elements live inside the everyday worlds of women around the globe: in marketplaces and classrooms, in kitchens, fields, temples, and city streets. I’m exploring how they take on new textures and meanings from place to place—different, yet somehow always familiar.This isn’t formal research; it’s a practice of paying attention. Through travel, observation, and reflection, I’m learning how women make space for themselves and for one another—how belonging is built through gestures, work, care, and courage.

Over the coming year, I’ll share field notes, photos, and short essays that will shape this work. You can follow along here or subscribe to Monthly Moments to receive updates as the project unfolds.
