    This actually came out of a news article I read prompting me to better understand the effect of incarceration on women and families in the United States. Because incarceration rates still unfairly and disproportionately show that minorities are getting arrested I wondered how this would affect women's ability to be part of the workforce and how often their voices are included in conversations around the hidden costs of racism. The fact that women hold together a family structure is often an impediment to fully realizing career growth potential and a barrier to opportunity in the first place.

    Finding lots to explore during nature walks with my family! We have learned about animal tracks, river ecosystems and done a lot of birdwatching!

    Its been a great experience to dedicate myself to daily walks. With the coronavirus pandemic we are all inclined to stay home more. But walking outdoors has never been more needed both for physical and mental health. As a result I have been able to explore nature within a couple hours of my house rather than travel nationally for vacations as I used to do. Its amazing what we miss close to home!

    The earlier in the morning I take my walks, the less cars there are on the road - making the walk much more enjoyable. Even with folks working from home due to the Pandemic I still notice a lot of traffic. I wonder if people are less inclined to use ride-sharing due to the Corona virus, or if they are hesitant to carpool?
