Held Here: Profiles in Presence…
Welcome to Held Here, where I share portraits of people shaping Macon and beyond—artists, activists, musicians, neighbors. Each profile is rooted in observation and conversation, capturing not only what someone does, but who they are, and how their presence ripples through place and time. This is storytelling that honors the quiet builders, the culture shapers, and the ones holding the door open for others.
