My daughter’s interview on Elephant Journal!
Prompted by the article she wrote for the site on being the “only black yogi in the room” she shines during an interview and talks a bit about her life journey so far.

2013 Thanksgiving Dinner
My daughter prepared a mostly vegan meal the day after thanksgiving, which was more convenient for everyone who was not hanging out with their in-laws on Thanksgiving Day this year, which also would have been my father’s birthday.
I paid for the groceries and Alexandra did a lot of the work, with Rob’s help, especially cleaning up. My daughter featured this on her blog prominently and was happy to mention that none of the family or friends who also were able to partake even asked where the meat was because it was so fulfilling and tasty, despite being very healthy.
Rob’s Birthday and first time eating Ethiopian Food
Aquatic Park, Berkeley
Visited my daughter and Jesus with my dogs. We walked from their place to the nearby park, where to my surprise they have water skiing. It’s right next to the busy freeway and close to downtown Berkeley. What a juxtaposition. Our evening followed a visit to Peet’s Coffee on the newly renewed part of 4th Street, which reminds my daughter and me very much of Park Slope, Brooklyn. Later we had dinner at Herbivore, which I had gone to many times on Valencia Street in San Francisco, but never before at their Berkeley location.
