The Beauty of...
Wildflowers. Tango. Culture. These Reedies are preserving the delightful things we hold most dear.
What does beauty feel like?
Does it feel like dancing tango? Like wrapping yourself in colorful kente cloth sent to you by your father in Ghana? Like an ancient song played on an African mbira or Presach songs sung by your grandmother who has long since died?
These Reedies exemplify what it means to not only see beauty in the world around us, but to feel it.
