今回は、日本のモダニズム建築の巨匠・丹下健三が都市計画を担当した、ナイジェリアの首都・アブジャを訪れた杉田真理子が、現地で見聞きしたことをレポートします。人口2億人を超えるナイジェリアは、「アフリカの巨人」とも呼ばれる国です。かつての首都ラゴスに代わり建設されたアブジャは、日本の建築家・丹下健三が手がけた壮大なマスタープランをもとにつくられました。しかし、実際に街を歩いてみると見えてくるのは、計画通りには成長しない都市の姿です。急激な人口増加によってインフラ整備が追いつかないエリアがある一方で、整然と整備された地区も存在する。そこには都市の理想と現実、計画と成長のせめぎ合いがありました。都市はどこまで計画できるのか。そして成長する都市とどう付き合うべきなのか。ナイジェリアの首都アブジャを手がかりに、都市計画の可能性と限界について語ります。日本のモダニズムはアフリカでどう生きたか──アブジャの現在から考える都市計画の「翻訳」：https://note.com/mariko9012/n/nf1113c790a5b都市・建築動向 / パリ・アブジャ・ラゴス・ ダカール/ 2025-6冬：https://note.com/mariko9012/n/nc9fe3ceceed4

「誰もがデザイナーになる時代」における、これからのデザインの役割について考えた回。専門家だけがデザインをするのではなく、祭りをつくること、場を整えること、人との関係を編み直すこともまた、日常のデザインなのではないか——そんな問いから対話が始まります。・「Space（空間）」ではなく、「Place（場所）」として人が愛着を持つ場とは何か。・小さなローカルや祭りに宿る宗教性、そこに関わる“当事者性”とは何か。・デザインを学ぶ意味や、専門デザイナーだからこそ担える役割についても掘り下げます。

In Part 2, we pick up right where we left off in Part 1, with Gina's first official address in San Francisco. In talking about finding a place to live in The City, Gina mentions that all her friends either live in rent-control apartments they've been in forever, or they're able to live in a place that someone in their family bought and has kept in the family. When she tells me where that first apartment in SF was, I let her know that my first place here, back in 2000, was less than a block away. As we're name-dropping hotspots on the block, I have a brain fart and can't remember the name of Cordon Bleu, the rad greasy-spoon Vietnamese joint still there on California near Polk. From that first apartment, Gina would take Muni to her job over in Potrero Hill. Back then, in the days before smartphones, she'd read on her long, chill Muni rides. She'd come home, make dinner with her roommate, and maybe head out to Polk Street or for karaoke in the hood. That AmeriCorp VISTA gig lead to a job doing literacy work. At that part-time job, Gina also started doing events. She also ran a non-profit dance company, and was trying her best to make both things work out for her. We step back to talk about Funkanometry SF, Gina's dance company. It started in LA, moved north, and the founders handed Gina the keys, so to speak. That happened in Gina's senior year at Berkeley. Because the dancers she was directing were older and more experienced, and because she had literally no experience running a non-profit or a business, she went to Barnes and Noble to buy a copy of a book from the "For Dummies" series. In Gina's time running it, Funkanometry took off. They received invitations to perform internationally, to places like the Philippines, the UK, and Colombia. On the back end, Gina figured out a way to pay herself $600 a month. She felt like she'd made it. Despite all those successes, though, the company didn't make money. The low-paying, part-time job and non-profit dance company was fun, but it wasn't meant to last. She got hit up on LinkedIn by a recruiter for Google and got an interview. Gina had reservations and talked with her mom about them. Lillian told her to daughter to go and listen to what they have to say, and so that's what Gina did. After the interview, she still didn't know if it was a good fit, but she accepted the offer regardless. She was now a software engineering recruiting coordinator at Google. To get to work, Gina took the infamous Google bus. As someone from The Bay who already had immense pride in her city, she felt ashamed. The money was good, but standing in line to wait for the hated busses felt bad. When cars or pedestrians passed by while she waited, she wanted to let them know that she wasn't "one of those people," that she's from here and runs a non-profit dance company. It didn't matter. Her internalized shame remained, but she says the job was fun enough to make up for it. That Google contract job turned into full-time work, and Gina stayed at the company for seven years. During this time, Gina met and started dating a San Franciscan who grew up in the Inner Richmond. They got engaged and Gina moved to that hood. She still worked at Google and now waited for their corporate bus in a chiller area with fewer protests. Then Gina's family suffered a tragic loss. One of her first cousins died by suicide. She says the experience "broke [her] family open," meaning it obviously hurt them all, but it also brought them closer. It made waiting for the Google bus that much more impossible for Gina, too. She'd moved into a new role at the company and was doing events for them. She decided it was time to branch out on her own and do what she loves. She was able to go part-time while launching her own events company. She'd tried to quit, but Google asked her to stay on. It ended up serving her well, as it provided some needed income while she undertook all the stuff it takes to start a company from scratch. The first event she produced under her new moniker, Make It Mariko, was Undiscovered SF, which began in 2017 as the first Filipino night market in SOMA. The first Undiscovered SF was such a success that it inspired Gina to transition Make It Mariko to her full-time work. The stories goes like this: A friend let her know about the nonprofit SOMA Pilipinas. She met with those folks and pitched a launch event. They applied for and received a $5K grant to do the event. A friend was able to wrangle $150K on top of that. That one launch event turned into six events, spaced out one per month. In 2020, Undiscovered SF went virtual. Gina had her tech background, and they had plenty of time to transition. This allowed them to connect Filipinos across the diaspora, sitting on panels and interacting with one another. And of course, there were DJs from all over. Prior to the pandemic, in addition to many other kinds of events, Make It Mariko had quite a lot of corporate event-planning business. Since COVID, though, a lot of that went away. Gina decided she wasn't gonna sit around and wait for big events to hire her company. She wanted to build on the success of self-produced events like Undiscovered. The seeds of what became POC Food and Wine were planted. Gina loves wine. During the pandemic, she got a scholarship to join a wine program where she was able to dive into that world. One of the topics was pairing, and so she was able to take that knowledge and apply it to the POC Food and Wine Festival, pairing POC chefs with specific wines and other beverages. Attendees were encouraged, but not required, to navigate the space and its makers along the lines laid out for them by Gina and her staff. I'll just say: It was one of the best, most unique experiences I've had in my 26 years here in the Bay Area. We end the episode with me letting Gina know how much I also enjoyed this year's Love Thy City event, which took place in February. It was to celebrate Make It Mariko's 10th anniversary and to establish a relationship with The Foundary space in South of Market. The love (right there in the name) that night was palpable—love of San Francisco, of community, of one another. All of these events—Undiscovered, POC Food and Wine Festival, Love Thy City—for me show how dedicated Gina and her people are to uplifting real people doing extraordinary things.

Chances are, you've been to one of Gina Mariko Rosales' events, even if you weren't aware. In this episode, which kicks off our Asian-American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month programming, meet Gina. Born in Daly City, she's lived most of her life on the Peninsula and in San Francisco. But let's talk about how she got to where she is today. Gina was born at Seton hospital in Daly City and her parents raised her in Pacifica. In her words, Gina "grew up with a bunch of skaters and surfers." Sounds fun. But she was one of only a few Filipinas in her hometown. She was also shaped from an early age by her time in Catholic school, which she went to beginning with her preschool days. She also a performer, dancing specifically, but we'll get to that. Gina is part of the first generation in her family to be born in the US. Her parents, Armando and Lillian, both came to this country from the Philippines for college in Ohio, where they met. Lillian's family moved around the Philippines because her dad was an engineer. Gina's dad is half-Filipino and half-Japanese—his Japanese lineage is from Okinawa. Lillian came to The States to pursue international law. But life had other plans. She ended up getting married and having kids, and instead did consulting work. In starting to talk more about her dad, Gina goes on a tangent about how, in 2025, she was able to visit both her mom's homeland in the Philippines and her dad's in Okinawa. Gina's mom was the first in her family to come to the US. Then one of Gina's aunts came. Then slowly, the family starting working on getting more and more members to relocate. Eventually, her grandparents and all her mom's siblings arrived in The Bay. Suddenly, Gina had hella cousins around. Her mom's family has done quite a job tracing their own lineage. Gina says they've been able to trace the line back six or seven generations. And many living members of that clan get together every couple of years for massive family reunions. Think 250–300 folks. I love that. Though she's not 100-percent certain, Gina believes that it was jobs that brought her parents the The Bay after they met at college in Ohio. Lillian worked at Levi's and Armando at Charles Schwab. They had their first child, Gina's older brother, out here. That was the early Eighties. Around mid-decade, Gina was born. Her early memories are of her time in Catholic preschool. Her school was pre-K through eighth grade, so Gina says that once you're labeled by your peers, it sticks. And those students are with you for a minute. Ninth grade provided a chance for Gina to get out of that situation. She "busted out" and attended Sacred Heart here in The City. She remembers being pretty little and visiting her mom at Levi's in San Francisco. She climbed on and ran around the now-defunct Vaillancourt Fountain. They'd go to Fisherman's Wharf. And they'd visit her grandfather's grave at the San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio, followed by trips to Japantown for sushi. We sidetrack here after Gina talks about how St. Mary's was their church and I mention that it's the "washing machine" and "city titty" church. Gina wasn't familiar with either term and I'll characterize her reaction as, simply, mind blown. Because her school, Sacred Heart, was nearby, Gina describes the scarce parking available for students and a lottery system they all had to operate under. We go on another sidetrack here to talk about ways to get around DPT's trickery—chalk marks and all that. At her school, Gina was in the choir and she was a member of the step team. She'd often stay around after a day of school to participate in both groups. She and her friends would frequent 1000 Van Ness movie theater and Venture Frogs, where they'd drink boba and eat popcorn chicken. I remember both spots from my early days in The City, around the year 2000. Gina says starting at Sacred Heart after doing K–8th in Pacifica was refreshing. She made friends with people who looked like her, finally. She was part of an Asian girl crew, in fact. Most of those girls were also on the step team and so much bonding was happening. So was "parking lot pimpin'," whether it was in San Francisco or Daly City, after school or on the weekends. She talks about the prevalence of unhoused folks around her school. Sacred Heart would have outreach days where students would make sandwiches to take to those people. Gina looks back fondly on that time. She and her friends would also hang out in Japantown, taking the bus up Geary or just walking the few blocks down. They also went to hella under-18 parties that had names and themes. There were rave rooms and hip-hop rooms. Gina calls them "the early party days." These were the days before "face the DJ" parties. For college, Gina went across The Bay to UC Berkeley. That meant moving out of her house in Pacifica for the first time. She lived in a dorm her first year, then moved into a co-op house and eventually into an apartment with friends. Philosophy and education were Gina's majors. She intended to graduate and become an English teacher. We go on another sidetrack about studying philosophy (something we have in common) before Gina explains how grad school ended up not working out for her. And we end Part 1 with Gina's story of graduating college in 2008 when the Great Recession hit. Her dreams were dashed and she moved back to Pacifica to live with her parents. She applied for countless jobs and ended up getting into AmeriCorps VISTA, a branch of the larger organization that focuses on alleviating poverty. The program wants its members to experience a level of poverty themselves. It paid just enough for Gina to move to San Francisco. Check back Thursday to hear Part 2 and the rest of Gina's story. We recorded this episode in the Brave New Spaces at Make It Mariko in South of Market/SOMA Pilipinas Cultural Heritage District in March 2026. Photography Mason J.

Mariko Silver '95 is the President and CEO of Lincoln Center, the largest performing arts campus in the United States, featuring eleven resident arts organizations ranging from the Metropolitan Opera to Julliard to New York City Ballet to Jazz at Lincoln Center. In this episode, Mariko tells her story. From growing up in New York City before moving to LA and entering Harvard-Westlake in the 10th grade. It was there where she met performing arts and history teachers who inspired Mariko to find her voice as both an artist and a leader. Following Yale and two post-graduate degrees, Mariko led a fascinating career–becoming President of Bennington College at age 35, leading the Henry Luce Foundation, and serving in the Department of Homeland Security in the Obama administration. All of this has led to her current role leading Lincoln Center, bringing “the best of New York to the world and the best of the world to New York.” Mariko references Harvard-Westlake teachers Karl Kleinz, John West, and Cyndy Winter as profound influences on her life and career.

自然に負けるとはどういうことか？今回のゲストは、造園という実践を通じて自然と向き合いながら、謎の集団「全日本棍棒協会」にも関わる人物。そもそも棍棒とは何か？という素朴な疑問から始まり、棍棒を使った「棍棒とばし」や、里山での活動へと話は広がっていきます。一見すると原始的で遊びのような行為。しかしその裏には、人間と自然の距離感や、現代社会が忘れつつある身体性、そして土地との関係性が潜んでいます。棍棒を握ることで見えてくる、都市とは違うもうひとつの世界。遊びのようでいて深い、里山×身体×道具の話を、ゆるやかに掘り下げていきます。ゲスト西田 有輝（造園家、グラフィックデザイナー）2022年より、suzumeの屋号で庭づくりとグラフィックデザインを仕事にしています。住む人が植物といい関係をつくれるように、庭という不自然な自然をどう扱うべきか、手を動かしながら考えています。全日本棍棒協会の幹部としても活動中。対人コミュニケーションに難ありな協会において、唯一親しみやすい窓口としての立ち位置を保持。愛想が良く、人の話は半分しか聞いてません。全日本棍棒協会⁠https://greatkonbou.jp/⁠Podcast | スズメスーパーカルチャーセンターhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6g0Tsp7tHI0A951KR2DKfz?si=iMfstQlvTA25Slft-cdJtQ出演／石川由佳子Podcast サムネイル作成／Nippashi編集／髙橋隆太開催決定！for Cities Week 2026 Islamabad都市体験のデザインスタジオ for Cities が贈る、世界を舞台にした学びと実践のコレクティブ・リサーチ・プログラム「for Cities Week 2026 Islamabad」の開催が決定！これまで東京、京都、カイロ、ホーチミン、チェンマイと開催してきたfor Cities Week。今回の舞台は、計画都市でありながら多様なローカルコミュニティの日常的実践が共存する都市、パキスタン・イスラマバードです。丘陵地帯の麓に位置するイスラマバードは、地形、都市計画、制度、暮らしが複層的に重なり合う都市でもあります。こうした環境を背景に、今年のテーマは「Heights（高さ）」。物理的な高さにとどまらず、多様な「Heights」という視点から、ご自身の関心を起点に都市をリサーチしていきます。申し込みフォームや詳細はfor cities Instagram プロフィール欄リンクから。日程をチェックしつつ、続報をお待ちください！近日中に現地コラボレーター情報をお知らせします！実施期間2026年4月25日～5月1日開催場所パキスタン・イスラマバードFollow Us/日々のあれこれ投稿中●Yukakoのインスタはこちらhttps://www.instagram.com/kiki_yukako/●Marikoのインスタはこちらhttps:/www.instagram.commariko_urbannomad/Good News for Cities Instagramhttps://instagram.com/good_news_for_cities私たちの会社【一般社団法人 for Cities】Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/for_cities/HPhttps://www.forcities.org/お仕事のご依頼はこちら：info@forcities.orgfor Citiesのカンパニーガイドはこちら！https://drive.google.com/file/d/ 1qtK3v_U2d30UbD8Gg|G9Gjug1ti7rBuL/view?usp=sharing●番組へのお便りはこちら⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/VNJkepcQPquVvYK97⁠⁠

Send a textMariko Sato — From Searching to FreedomLong before discovering the Taubman Approach, Mariko Sato was already searching.As an accomplished concert artist and professor, she had built an international career. Yet she continued asking deeper questions:How can I play more efficiently? More expressively? Without fatigue or injury?The turning point came not in her own playing — but in her son's.After developing tendonitis from over-practicing, her son sought help from teachers, doctors, and specialists. Nothing offered lasting recovery. Then he discovered the Taubman Approach at the Golandsky Institute in New York. Under the guidance of Edna Golandsky — and with a pivotal lesson from Dorothea Taubman herself — he fully recovered and completed his master's degree injury-free.For Mariko, this felt miraculous.Curiosity turned into commitment. In the late 1990s, she attended the Taubman Summer Symposium — and everything changed.Over nearly 30 years of study with mentors including Mary Moran, Edna Golandsky, Bob Durso, and John Bloomfield, Mariko refined her understanding of coordinated movement at the piano. She became an Associate Faculty Member and Master Teacher with the Golandsky Institute — one of only three certified Taubman teachers in Canada, and the only one at the master level.In this episode, Mariko shares:How forearm rotation replaced stretching and tensionWhy pressing into the keys creates fatigue and sound distortionHow small hands and physical “limitations” can become strengthsThe transformation that allowed her to perform repertoire she once avoidedWhy comparison — twisted vs. untwisted, pressed vs. released — is the key to learningShe speaks candidly about childhood discouragement — being told her hands were not suited for a professional career — and how understanding coordinated movement allowed her body to “become piano hands.”Through the Taubman Approach, she not only solved technical problems. She gained the ability to analyze and solve them independently.Her story is not about quick fixes. It is about refinement, logic, and lived experience.After three decades of study, she describes the work not as static doctrine, but as a living research community — one that continues to evolve, deepen, and empower pianists to play with freedom and confidence.For anyone navigating tension, injury, doubt, or physical limitation — this conversation offers clarity, hope, and practical direction.About Mariko SatoMariko Sato is a Tokyo-born concert pianist, professor, and Master Teacher of the Taubman Approach based in Montréal. She has performed internationally across three continents and contributed to six CD recordings. A longtime faculty member at Université Laval and the Cégep régional de Lanaudière, she has studied the Taubman Approach since 1995 and has taught it since 2006. She serves as an Associate Faculty Member at the Golandsky Institute and specializes in injury prevention, coordinated movement, and sustainable piano technique.Episode Themes • Injury recovery and tendonitis • Efficient forearm rotation • Twisting vs. coordinated alignment • Small hands and physical myths • The Taubman community and ongoing researchThe Golandsky Institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge instruction to pianists based on the groundbreaking work of Dorothy Taubman. This knowledge can help them overcome technical and musical challenges, cure and prevent playing-related injuries, and lead them to achieve their highest level of artistic excellence.Please visit our website at: www.golandskyinstitute.org.

As regular listeners may know, in my free time, I'vbe been  researching Japanese washi. I'm looking for the "perfect paper," something that I can return to again and again in my own prints. It hasn't been straightforward. There's a lot of washi out there. A lot to test. A lot to understand. The search continues.   I'd like to introduce  you to a papermaking community in Saitama Prefecture, Japan — Ogawa Washi. In Ogawa and Higashi-Chichibu, papermakers have been producing washi for over 1,300 years with studios continuing  to operate there today.   I had the opportunity  to speak with Seiko Musashi; Ogawa washi exporter, art program coordinator, translator, about the history of the area, who is making paper now, and how these paper maing studios continue even as generations change and family lines shift.   We also talk about how Ogawa connects outward. In the past few years they've hosted longer, week-long workshops in mokuhanga and washi making. Including groups from RMIT University, University of Massachusetts Lowell, and earlier visits from the University of California Santa Cruz through connections with Terry McKenna and his Karuizawa Mokuhanga School. It's one of the ways this small papermaking community stays active and engaged with artists from outside of Japan.   Seiko has dedicated much of her life to sharing Ogawa's washi beyond Japan — and in our conversation, we reflect on what the future might look like for communities like Ogawa. Please follow The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast and my own mokuhanga work on my website andrezadoroznyprints.com Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com   Artists works follow after the note if available.

Let's dive in. Play is just as important. We explore how well‑intentioned adult expectations can unintentionally shape a child's inner world. When children are frequently directed—told what to do, how to do it, and at whose pace—they begin meeting adult expectations rather than developing healthy self‑regulation. This can narrow their curiosity, limit creativity, and reduce their freedom to explore, leaving them believing there is only one “right” way to do things.Host June speaks with Mariko, a former early childhood educator, and Ruth, a stay‑at‑home mum and clinical psychologist. Together, they share why growth is still possible—for both children and parents. Intentional parenting can create space for autonomy, exploration, and emotional development, helping children grow confidently at their own pace.A key theme is the importance of playing. Play supports cognitive, social, and emotional growth, helping children with problem‐solve, imagine, negotiate, and understand their world. It restores creativity, confidence, and trust.--Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

今回のテーマは、韓国の家と不動産。よく聞く「韓国はアパート共和国」って、実際どういうこと？映画や小説などでどう「家」が表象されているのか？から探ってみます。韓国でいう「アパート」は、日本のマンションとはちょっと別物。とにかく高くて大きくて、団地の中にスーパーもジムも図書館もある。それだけでひとつの街みたいな場所が、たくさんあります。さらに驚くのが、韓国独特の賃貸システム「チョンセ」。家を借りるのに、最初に大きなお金を預けて、家賃はほぼゼロ。しかも、出るときにはお金が戻ってくる…という、不思議な仕組みです。そんな仕組みが、再開発や不動産投資と結びつくことで、「家」がだんだん住む場所以上のものになっていった韓国。ご近所付き合いの話から、文学に描かれた家の話まで。今回はちょっと肩の力を抜いて、「他の国の家事情をのぞいてみる」雑談回です。韓国の家と文学／韓国アパート共和国／韓国の賃貸システム／マンション内でのご近所界隈出演／石川由佳子・杉田真理子Podcast サムネイル作成／Nippashi編集／髙橋隆太

Raising Kids with a Faith Rooted in Love—not Fear In this tender and hope-filled episode, Wendy talks with author Mariko Clark and illustrator Rachel Eleanor, creators of The Book of Belonging—a reimagined children's Bible centered on original goodness, emotional literacy, inclusive imagery, and a deeply compassionate view of God. Together, they explore what it means to raise kids with a faith rooted in love, equity, and belonging—especially when you're navigating your own journey of healing from high-control theology or rethinking inherited beliefs.

In this Healing 101 bonus episode, I'm joined again by Mariko Bangerter, regression therapist and healer, to explore how accessing the subconscious mind can unlock deep and lasting change.We talk about how our earliest memories - even ones we don't consciously recall - can shape our adult behaviours, and why true healing often requires working beyond logic and into the subconscious. Mariko also shares some incredible case studies from her practice, from releasing birth trauma to transforming relationship patterns. It's a fascinating look into the power of regression therapy and what can happen when we reconnect with the parts of ourselves we've long forgotten.Find Mariko:Instagram: @mindsetting.by.marikoWebsite: https://www.mindsetting.co.uk/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever felt like talk therapy just wasn't getting to the root — this episode might open something up for you.Today I'm joined by Mariko Bangerter, regression therapist and founder of Mindsetting, to talk about a form of therapy that honestly blew my mind. Regression therapy goes deeper than the conscious mind — guiding you into a relaxed, altered state to access the subconscious, where so many of our unhealed wounds and limiting beliefs live.We talk about how past trauma gets stored not just in the mind, but in the body… and how revisiting old memories — even ones we didn't know were there — can release years of stuck emotion in just a single session. I even share a bit about my own experience working with Mariko, which felt almost psychedelic in how vividly I reconnected with forgotten parts of myself.If you've ever felt stuck, or like something in you is trying to heal but can't quite reach the surface — this might be the missing piece.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Mariko:Instagram: @mindsetting.by.marikoWebsite: https://www.mindsetting.co.uk/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm so excited for today's episode because you get to hear from two of my favorite humans on the planet, my dear friends, Mariko Clark and Rachel Eleanor. Marri and Rachel have a brand new kid's Bible coming out this week called The Book of Belonging and to say I am overjoyed and ecstatic about it is a huge understatement.  I knew I needed to invite them both on the show to not only talk about the book and incredible backstory, but also what the process was like while writing and illustrating it.  I loved this conversation so much because it reminded me that when God stirs our hearts to action, he equips us to do the hard thing, no matter how daunting the task (or how unqualified we feel!).  I can't wait for you to hear from them!
