Story Seeds

Story Seeds is inspired by the role that exchanging stories at the 32nd Street Farmers Market played in helping me feel connected to my new home of Baltimore, MD. What began as "field research" for my MFA thesis turned into an ongoing project that explores farmers markets as sites for community building. Story Seeds creates the space for intentional conversation and reflection on our farmers market experience. They are images, words, moments...the seeds for what could grow into a full-fledged story.

​

Between 2021 and 2024, I gathered over 200 stories from community members at the 32nd Street Farmers Market through my Story Seeds stands. These stories form the foundation for my memoir, Parking Lot Magic.
