Remembering a Woman of Virtuous Character
My grandmother was called home to eternal rest on 17 May 2003. This piece is my memorial to this virtuous woman, a woman who aptly fits the description from Proverbs 31. I will miss grandma, but I also look forward to a joyous reunion in the presence of our Savior.

Brownskinned Bama
Perhaps one of the reasons I decided to study anthropology is the strange sense of culture and ethnicity that occupied my thoughts as a child. It was a sense of divided loyalties and confused traditions, an unusual fusion of cultures that made life seem so complicated and rich. Although I often publicly attribute my interest in anthropology to the traveling I did in my youth, I think the generative seed of this fascination actually came from my grandmother and the sheer enormity of her personality and experience.
