Hi Aisha! I saw that you often walk before sunrise. Is it the same route every morning?

Hi! Usually the same few blocks. I coordinate home-care visits during the day, and I like not having to arrange much before the walk. Shoes, keys, out the door.

How did you choose those blocks?

They bring me back home without crossing the busiest road. There’s also a tree that drops little things into my hair at a certain time of year. I didn’t plan for that part.
