Librarian, seamster, cocktailian. Believer in inclusive, radical, canon-busting, genre-jumping, disciplinarily fluid, multi-lingual, empathy-inducing, curiosity-inspiring humanities out in the world.

I couldn’t guess how important this piece on émigré banquet halls and delis would be to me when I started writing it. Endless thanks to my editors at @[email protected] for putting in the order! The entire issue — on SoCal foodways — will make your mouth water! https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/image/story/2022-11-16/taking-stock-of-the-vanishing-landscape-of-russian-hollywood
