I am beyond pleased to share that I am featured in the latest issue of the world renowned Smithsonian Magazine (July/August 2025).

To see my drystone work, and my voice, recognised, and to take up space in a field where women are still few and far between, means more than I can say.

I was so proud to show my daughters this.

"I realised really quickly for every stone I can't lift, there's a stone that a man can't lift"

@kristiedegaris Well done and I love the final statement "I realised really quickly for every stone I can't lift, there's a stone that a man can't lift"
