I haven’t spent much time on Twitter lately, but I’ve had so many great community experiences. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to read to little ones and their families as part of Story Time Saturday at Elizabeth's Bookshop & Writing Centre. 😊

Each year, I take some time to reflect and think about what I want to carry forward into the next year. I wrote a bit about 2022. You can read it here: bronlynn-thurman.com/articles/the-b…

I still pause before saying epitome.

“I fell in love with photography the way I fall in love with most things; unexpectedly, somewhat haphazardly, but full of such passion and joy.” bronlynn-thurman.com/articles/expos…

Excited to be in Macon this week for Reimagining the Civic Commons 3.0 discussing how to foster public spaces that engage and serve the priorities of residents in #KnightCities. Looking forward to learning from Knight Macon and civic leaders from across the country.

Great start to the Civic Commons US day in Macon with a conversation moderated by Bron Thurman GAR Foundation about the Tonika Lewis Johnson’s Folded Map Project in Chicago, work to advance equity, self care and great books to read.

🖤

I’ve been away from Twitter for a bit. It may be time for my return. 🤔

I could feel Tina Turner saying goodbye to us when I watched her documentary, but it’s still a shock. I hope, in the end, she got everything she needed and even more of what she wanted.

We’re hiring! Join our team and be part of building an exciting future for our city, or tag someone you know who may be interested! >>togetherforakron.com/digital

Such a great day in Akron!
