I have something I want to share with you

How I ran into a supreme court justice and other announcements

READ IN APP

I took this at the beginning of my vacation and thought I’d share!

The finishing touches are coming together, so in the meantime, I’ll just leave you with some announcements!

If you need something leisurely to read this weekend, click the story below about how I literally ran into Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a couple of years ago 🤦🏾‍♀️

Until next time,

Hi, I’m Shae! I’m a Doctoral Candidate in History at Harvard University. I am also a writer weaving together storytelling, literature, primary sources, and whatever else catches my attention to bring us all closer to understanding this thing we collectively call LIFE. This is a digital classroom, a TED Talk stage, and sometimes just a spot in a coffee shop where two friends gather. Whatever this space is for you, I’m glad you’re here 🤓.
