News producer and Miami native Brysen Garcia engages deeply in her new community by covering the stories of the Roanoke region. “I'm fairly new to the area,” says Garcia, “but my job is a form of civic duty. I do my best to know what’s on the forefront of people’s minds in the city and to do my best to educate and inform.

“I've decided to use the project as kind of a gratitude list for Roanoke and my new life here,” she says. “I want it to show the elements of the city that have special meaning for me as the background: my horse, mountain ranges, plus the Dr Pepper and Texas Tavern sign because they remind me of my grandparents) I also have the border as a playing card because I play cards with my grandmother who suffers from dementia, so the playing card is in honor of her.”
