The 2024 St. Louis International Film Festival has been an amazing celebration of culture and entertainment. Creative expression has been on full display, covering all genres and so many important topics. The documentary and narrative shorts shown tonight at @chaseparkcinema were centered on human rights and shed light on some of the struggles individuals face in middle eastern society. Each story was truly moving and inspiring.

The festival continues through the weekend. If you’re in need of a great escape, there’s still time to get tickets.

There are so many hidden gems along the Mississippi River. Do you agree? Recently, I was invited to the Mary Meachum Celebration in St. Louis, MO by @greatriversstl and stumbled upon this serene view.

It also happened to be the location Mary Meachum was caught attempting to free a group of slaves. The energy and drive that flow through St. Louis are unmatched. I’m grateful to be planted here. Thank you @greatriversstl for the new discovery! ✨
