Her current focus is on activating the oral histories of the diverse legacies reflected in the history of a 300 + acre centuries old site being developed into an urban park. By memorializing the lives of those who intersected with the site, including Indigenous Americans, enslaved people and the mentally ill, she hopes to contribute to successfully bringing “Memory to Action”.

This website portrays the land’s history and shares the stories of individuals linked together by their lives in this place. The paths crossing this 300-acre urban site hold the stories of individuals across thousands of years representing nomadic indigenous tribes, the slave plantation era, and a mental health hospital. As the city develops the land into a park, it is their goal to honor and remember these legacies by gathering their descendants' and representatives' oral histories.
