Becoming a farm family
We were living as a family in Milwaukee. I was teaching on 15th and Center. My husband was just beginning a dog training business. I was a special education teacher and taught in full inclusion classrooms. I was passionate about investing in the kids in my classroom, but also in their families …
I was having long stretches of unexplained bouts of illness, wasn’t anything I was catching from my kids in the classroom. It was discovered I had lupus. It is very unique to each person, how it affects you and how you manage it. I had no idea about anything with that back then; I was just happy to have a name and move forward. I discovered you don’t easily move forward from lupus. I kept getting progressively sicker. I was diagnosed with another autoimmune disease, gastroparesis, paralysis of the stomach. It is like having the flu 24/7. Very unpredictable. That took me out of the classroom, and I never went back. We wound up moving to Elkhorn.

If anything good comes from this pandemic, it may be that the Mexican artisan community “discovers” the internet.
Even before Covid-19, traditional artisans’ greatest challenge has been to get fair prices for their creations. Essentially, the problem is that they almost always live in poor, rural areas, far from urban and international markets where the people with the money and desire to support them can be found.
