Meet My Parents. A Conversation in Four Parts. Part One.

Before they were Mom and Dad, they were people. People with places, rhythms, rules, and a feeling they carried from the homes they were raised in, into the home they built together.This is Part One of a four-part conversation with my parents, Lynda and Allen Greene, on the places that shaped them, the culture of their households growing up, and the first home they made together as a couple.The rhythm. The beginnings. The structure. The love.A note: this conversation was recorded with care and shared with my parents' full knowledge and participation. Their voices, their stories, their words. I am so grateful they said yes to this project and to each other. Supported by a FY26 Maryland State Arts Council Creativity Grant.  always-welcome.org | [email protected]
