Turtle Island
Raye was born in October of 2015, to an E.M.T. and a surgeon. Growing up, she spent most of her time roaming the halls of a hospital in Baltimore, MD, now called Resident 3. She spent her time making arounds, playing in the community funded greenhouse, visiting with patients, and had a reputation as the hospital fairy, skipping around with a mist bottle, a mix of sanitizer and glitter, offering spritzes of the stuff to hospital personnel, patients, and visitors. Raye's 'Fairy Serum' became so popular that she and her mother set up bins specifically to collect the small empty sanitizer bottles from around the hospital to make hundreds them, helping Raye to understand a bit of repurposing. Word of this special treatment got out and before her parents knew it, corporate collaborative offers were being made to patent and market the idea. Her parents were hesitant with the investors until Raye had a better idea. The bottles would be sold at stations all over the hospital, creating lemonade-stand like booths, and be manned by volunteer patients. It was a success! The money collected allowed for constant flow of supplies, and the idea spread like a wildfire across the other residential areas of the now sectionalized and militantly quarantined country.

Saving the Seas with a Broom and Dustpan!
I work at an aquarium. A non-profit staffed with fabulous educators, amazing sea turtle rehabilitators, and an awesome conservation team that is saving wetlands. My department is Environmental Services (ES) Which is a fancy way of saying I'm a janitor. I’m well aware of the stereotypes of jobs like mine, they’re not always wrong. It is a fair amount of physical labor. I do have to clean up disgusting things. And like any other public service job, guests can be frustrating and do annoying things such as: flushing diapers causing the restroom to flood, staying fifteen to thirty minutes after closing forcing me to get off late, and mixing trash and recycling. But in all truth this is the best job I’ve ever had!

The Wonders of the World
My clients are among the most difficult to please. No matter what I do or say, no matter how many exhausting hours I work doing their bidding, thanks and praise are in short supply. This is especially true when they first come to me, they are the most needy then. It takes a great deal of time and effort working with them to figure out their wants and desires and how best to help them. They have no value for my personal life and privacy and tend to complain about their situation at all hours of the day and night. It’s a difficult learning curve, but eventually I come to understand their personality and what helps them the most and in turn they come to understand my boundaries. Work becomes a little easier, though each client will at times try to test those boundaries again or will come to me with unrealistic requests that can never be met. Of course they always moan when I inform them their request can not happen or is too dangerous or difficult to achieve. Oh the complaints that come in and the cries to fire me and find someone else who is far better than I.

Simplicity
Can you imagine being some other than what you are? Delivery mail for the mind. The mere thought of blossoming while the world burns around you seems impossible at times, something as simple as planting a tree, flower or herb you often have high expectations but things don’t always go to plan do they?

Tapari: A traditional Leaf Plate and culture of Nepal
After the momos (traditional plates) at Tapari College and a heated discussion with Bidhan Kobie about the future, the idea of starting a business came up. We decided to explore the idea of making a better plate that would add value to the tapers we use. We learned and worked on a variety of leaves such as pine, palm, corn, and areca trees to make better leaf plates.

Martha's Pears
Martha was old and Deedee was ignorant of the most important things. Deedee had shown up in her kitchen uninvited, a little rag-tag bit of a very white young woman. Martha wondered who had brought her. She looked out the window at several young men waiting for the fish head soup to be served. The girl had no manners. She sat on the countertop that stretched along the back wall. Did she not know counters were for food prep, not dirty Levi's? She had to be told to sit in the nearby chair.
