Happy birthday! All this is very interesting, thanks for sharing. May I recommend checking out the work of Lourdes Almeida, a Mexican photographer who has covered border crossing stories for a while. I think you'd appreciate her work.

Happy birthday Melissa! Great post this week. The 10 things you've listed got me thinking about how many that I feel like I've really truly learned. One thing I'm still working on related to #8 and #7 and perhaps most of the others is: forgive yourself. Being able to do that is a critical part of self care. And, switching to photography, how did Peter Garritano make those images??!! All the links you posted were excellent. I had only previously seen the Magnum and Flak Photo links. Thank you!
