    The Business of Being a Sister (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Read more about the Summer 2026 Syllabus here!My sister recently moved states. She was accepted into Yale University to pursue her Master’s of Divinity. We had lived in the same city for seven years, which is wild to think about now.

    The Summer 2026 Syllabus drops on August 15th, and I’m so excited to share what we have cooking! It’s been such a labor of love putting this together.
