Across Rwanda

On the twenty-year anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, I joined a team traveling across the country to see how one ministry is changing the lives of those who have been orphaned.

Pop Science

I got invited to guest at Bethany King's Graph Paper Diaries in a series of weekly back-and-forths on science references in pop songs. It starts fun and gets delightfully weird.

Letters from India

A series of pieces from trips to the poorest sections of India, as I documented the work of an upstart Christian organization trying to get a foothold there. It features two bouts of sunstroke and a surprising moment where I became an attraction at one of India's largest religious festivals.
