My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.

Dancing The Day Away
Had a great time this weekend taking a beginner-level African dance class from Youssouf Koumbassa, a master teacher from Guinea, West Africa. I had a blast, even if I didn't do all the steps right (the class was much easier than the dancing in this video, which shows Youssouf--in the yellow T-shirt and colorful pants--teaching in very much the same way he did on Sunday).
