❤️ “Still here. And we will continue to be here,” says Dr. Chris Johnson (@cpjleica). “It’s what we do — whether we get yelled at, spat on, assaulted, demoralized, devalued, or treated poorly in any other fashion. We show up every day and take care of whoever walks through our doors.”

If you know someone on the frontlines of this pandemic, reach out and make sure everything is ok. For a lot of people things are not ok. “Before COVID we would see crazy stuff but could compartmentalize and go into crisis mode to help for the short term. But we aren’t meant to be in crisis mode for 2+ years. And we can’t compartmentalize work day after day,” says Chris. “If you are someone on the frontlines and aren’t doing ok, reach out — to a colleague, a friend, a family member, a support group.”

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) can offer professional help - text “SCRUBS” to 741741 at any time.

Stay healthy, stay safe, and be kind.

🎉James River Park System has announced that Giles Garrison (@cageyk_g) will take over as the new Superintendent of the James River Park System!

“From growing up in the shadow of Forest Hill Park and digging for treasure at Reedy Creek to devoting her professional career to the preservation of our natural and historic assets, Giles brings a love of the Park and an impressive skill set to her new role,” says @jamesriverpark.

Many Richmonders know Giles’ work and impact as the Executive Director for both @groundworkrva and and Storefront for Community Design. Giles also has a passion for accessibility and inclusivity – two areas of vital importance to the park’s Master Plan.

“The James River Park System is many things to Richmond, and it has been many things to me. My favorite time of year is when the paw paws turn yellow and seem to hover in the air over the Buttermilk Trail, making you feel transported to a magical place. Sometimes when I walk along parts of the Pipeline or the trails at Ancarrows Landing, I feel the hauntedness of the James River, the experience of acute loss that occurred here for Richmond’s African-American forebears. This is a part of our origin story,” says Giles. “The story continues to unfold. Running the Park’s trails and climbing Manchester Wall have been some of the most joyful times in my life because they happen in a place that is completely unique to Richmond and for all to enjoy. The James River Park System is place where you can lose yourself and find yourself, in company or on your own, always in nature. Today this Park, and all of our parks, are places where reconciliation and reconnection are possible.”

🎨Tonight’s unveiling at the Capitol of @governorralphnortham’s official portrait by artist Stanley Rayfield, a Virginia native and @vcu graduate! Rayfield’s portraits have been displayed at Glave Kocen, @vmfamuseum, U.S. Pentagon, museums, universities, and even by Spike Lee.

🎉 In the foreground of the painting, Rayfield (@stanleyrayfieldstudio) created a nod to some of the Governor’s accomplishments by depicting newspaper articles with the headlines: “Virginia Repeals Death Penalty,” and “The Country’s Biggest Remaining Confederate Statue Comes Down in Virginia.” Also in the portrait is an image of First Lady Pamela Northam on a bookshelf to his right, at the same level as his heart. Governor’s portraits live on the third floor of the Capitol and move one slot to the right every four years.
