About the yonda project
My (Quay’s) very first book, Yonda: words beyond worlds, was released in 2021. I am expanding that work into additional written, video, and audio content that documents my family's heirs' property journey to clear titles and preserve roughly 30+ acres of farmland in rural North Carolina.
Second, as an extension of that, I am building a mobile app that will support families in collecting and storing sacred family histories. Your support will sustain this creative storytelling and preservation work.
