Naturalization ceremony, goats and moving
Without much time to post these past few months, I wanted to throw up some highlights. These include some extra photos from my "Beyond the Mosque" project for the Concord Monitor, a "Goats and Yoga" class I covered last week, and a few preliminary photos around Williamstown, Mass., where I move next week before I begin graduate school and venture into the freelance world.
On Feb. 17, 2017, I tagged along to the U.S. District Court in Concord, N.H. with Yusuf Bility, his wife, Tina, their mom, Massa, and kids Mohammed and Massa. All attended Tina's naturalization ceremony, where she became a citizen after fleeing the Ivory Coast as a refugee six years ago. The moment came three weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting travel from majority-Muslim countries and temporarily halting refugee arrivals in the United States.
Goats and yoga... do I really need to explain more? The new fad is putting tiny little Jenness Farm in Nottingham, N.H. on the map.
A few photos from a long winter of driving to and from Williamstown, Mass. to visit Adron. (Yes, we did go sledding in a plastic box). In a week exactly, I'll be moving here, with many more photos to come.
