Akua; I didn't even know you did art work. What kind of artwork? What's it
like? Is there a picture anywhere? I would like to see. Pam

When I lived briefly in Malone, New York, up by Canada in Franklin County, even
the able-bodied lived that way.
It was said a person needed five trades and some land in order to make it
financially because it was so poor there. Only a handful of very large dairy
farmers were OK.
And every spring might see a new "parking lot" carved out of the downtown, from
someone who managed to burn down one of the remaining city blocks that past
winter.

Employment -- I was fired because of my disability….I was doing marketing and
development. Then I taught, did readings and workshops but since returning
home, I can do none of those thingsbecause there is no transportation. So I've
turned to designing. I posted on Betterfly andnow have a private student who
comes to my home. So those of you who can work are lucky to have situations
that make that possible. In my part of the worldit's not only about
*willingness* it is about access.
In terms of my art making, I haven't entered work in any shows because I never
get to see it/them ---for the five show I've been in since returning home, not
once has anyone taken any pictures of the shows or my work on the walls.
It's heartbreaking.
