The Writer

IMG_3296.jpg

My name is Kat, short for “KATHRYN MARIE GET DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW,” (Mom).

A former Philadelphian and quasi-nomad, I’ve called New Orleans “home” for the past three years.  While living in the Crescent City, I had the supreme luck and privilege of running around with kids and adults for a living.

Sometimes, I trained for crazy races.

Occasionally, I wrote essays about running in said crazy races.

But most days, I found myself next to the bayou, sprawled out in the grass, pondering the complexities of life and screw-top wine bottles with friends.

I love many things, including, but not limited to: coffee, sunshine, peanut butter, kids, laughing, brass bands, glitter, and people. 

Chicago is my *very* recent place of residence and where I am pursuing my Masters in Social Work.

This– the letters, the pictures, the !!! and amazingness of people–

is my June Project.

Just finished eating an apple fritter the size of my face from my favorite donut place Of.All.Time. And if this isn’t happiness/the best sugar high of all time, I don’t know what is . . #donutheaven #followyournola #yumyall
Accidentally forgot that it’s impossible to run in NOLA after 8 am but if you squint a lot, you can see Jackson Cathedral in the distance 😅 . . #followyournola #nolarunning #sweatysummerrunning
In approx 4 days, I get to lie on this bridge with a bunch of my best friends and drink rosé and eat some Zapps and talk about how truly truly magical and transformative New Orleans can be . . #nolatilyadie #followyournola #goodpeoplegoodthings
Guest Letter: “Chicago and its people have taught me to be a better friend, have the courage to pursue my own happiness, and to #justshowup ,” @running_4tacos . . #chicagoisforrunners #freefitness #chicagoland
One of my absolute most FAVORITE parts (aside from human connection, beautifully written passages, and just overall 🤗🥰) about #thejuneproject are the letters and drawings from kiddos . Swipe to see name doppelgängers, fire breathing dragons, and letters from the Black Hand 😮 . . @fowissahickon @friendsofbayoustjohn @myphillypark @eastfairmountpark @thecedarshouse @phillyinquirer #thejuneproject #thejuneprojectphilly
One Year Ago: I started leaving letters all around New Orleans— at Jazz Fest, Tipitinas, the Bayou, any and all places that had and hold meaning for my time as a New Orleanian. One Year Later: I realized that all this time, I’ve been writing, in a windabout way, letters to people— People make a place. And a place makes a people. Thanks for following along on this adventure y’all— here’s to another year of place and people ❤️🙌🏼 . . #nolatilyadie #iknowwhatitmeans #nolanewsgram #crescentcity #thejuneprojectnola #thejuneproject
