Episode 16 of the Ground Shots Podcast.   This episode is a conversation with Lindsey Leach, who lives in Richmond, Virginia. I recorded our conversation this past October, while I was doing a printmaking residency in Petersburg, Virginia at Cornmeal Press, the studios of Aimee Joyaux, our guest from Episode 14. When this interview was recorded, Lindsey was working as the Development Manger at ChildSavers, an organization dedicated to the mental wellbeing of children in the greater RVA area.   In addition to talking about the work of the organization ChildSavers, we chat about:   the importance of trauma informed council for children the history of the deliberate concentrating of poverty in black communities in Richmond, VA how a history of systematic racism is reflected in the present day reality of the city ways that schools are still segregated how trauma affects the body the link between trauma and systematic racism the need to remove the confederate statues on Monument Ave in Richmond, VA reevaluating southern identities that revolve around a selectively curated storytelling of the past the importance of representing and telling all stories of the past and present for a more accurate representation of the lived human experience in the RVA area having civil conversations with people who you don’t agree with how Richmond is making changes to acknowledge the history of all people who lived and live in the city (links to some of these things are found below)   ***** To go along with this episode, Lindsey, who is an avid reader, put together an epic book list that relates to the topics we touch on in this conversation, found on the Ground Shots Project Patreon membership page. ****   As of February of this year, Lindsey accepted a position at United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) as Senior Development Officer. Now she heads up fundraising for UNOS, the nonprofit that manages the nation's only organ transplant system. She continues to support ChildSavers and is involved in her community through board service for ReEstablish Richmond which is a local nonprofit that helps refugees establish roots, build community, and become self-sufficient. In addition to her nonprofit work, Lindsey is an artist. You can view her portfolio linked below and learn about her psychic landscapes depicting the inner world of emotions.    The additional music for this episode is by Ted Packard.
