One of the most interesting and fun projects I did for the Discover Richmond website was taking pictures for slideshows of Richmond’s statues and monuments. Kathy Albers was a researcher and historian for the Richmond Times-Dispatch for many years and brought this to me. I loved the scavenger hunt mentality I developed from projects like this and the history I’ve learned as a result. Thank you Kathy!

By that logic, the statue of Arthur Ashe was not erected to honor him since it was erected after he died. Actually, that is true. It was put up as a ‘screw you’ to White people. Ashe was no hero.

If you’ve done office parties or corporate work, make sure to mention that
as well. No matter what your field, it helps to know what you’re good
at, but it also helps to recognize what others are good at.
If it feels weird coming out of your mouth, fake it.
