About East Saint Louis

I want to write about my time in East Saint Louis but I want to be respectful to my friends/coworkers/community partners/neighbors while doing so. I've been struggling with how I can best talk about these issues of race, poverty, and education honestly.

OK, so here's the plan boys and girls: I'm going to put a delay of a year on any posts specific to where I'm living and the work I'm doing. I'll post my personal and generic posts as usual (semi-not-at-all, hehe) and then in about a year you'll start seeing East Saint Louis posts (with the label 'esl') if you want to find them all in one place.

Hold on to your hats and be patient :)
