NEW JUICE SHOP ON CHEROKEE!! La Casa de los Jugos opened today at 2606 Cherokee. Smoothies, fresh-squeezed juices, sandwiches, and salads. Owner Erika Rodriguez says the menu is inspired by the fresh juices and foods she grew up with in Mexico. She’s new to Cherokee but not new to operating a heath food store. Prior to moving to St. Louis, she ran a similar business in Chicago for over a decade. Stop in and support Cherokee’s newest business. She’s still setting up the POS system so cash only for now. .us

“My assistant and I were putting together this podcast episode about positive vaccination stories. I asked her to reach out to people we interviewed months ago who had long-term COVID effects. We wanted to see how they are doing, and, if they’ve been vaccinated, have they seen any improvements with their symptoms. So my assistant had a difficult conversation with one woman because the lady isn’t doing better — she’s doing worse than when we first spoke with her. My assistant said, ‘I’m really worried. I’ve been affected by the interview because this person is not doing well and I feel bad about even having asked how she was doing because there’s nothing we can do for her to alleviate her symptoms.’

I dealt with a similar thing when I used to report on refugees when I was in Central America. A lot of time, they come to you as the journalist and have outsized expectations about what speaking to you will mean for them individually. That can be difficult work because you want to have a story to tell so you have to have people talk to you. But you also have to walk this line to have them understand, ‘I’m not the U.S. government. I’m not a fairy godfather who shows up and gets you across the border or fixes your COVID symptoms.’ So I have to stay far enough apart from the people I interview to do my job, but at the same time, I have to approach what they’re going through with empathy and compassion and be respectful of their situations.” (2/2)

“I was at the University of Texas at Austin doing Latin American studies. I thought I wanted to be an anthropologist or sociologist or something like that. But I got to school and was like, ‘Oh, I don’t think I can do this academic thing. This is not for me.’ I have a lot of interests and they’re very broad. And that’s the thing I like about journalism. It’s nice to be able to jump from topic to topic and indulge those interests. When I’m putting together a story, I’ll do the interview, and when I turn the recorder off, I’ll leave the space. I’ll go to a coffee shop, to a bar, or wherever, and I’ll sit down and write by hand what it is that stood out to me. That’s a helpful tool because it tells you immediately on a lizard-brain level what was actually interesting when I heard it. The creative process is to put it all together like a mosaic, because you have pieces that are true that you can’t change, but the way you assemble them creates a picture that leaves someone with a sensation or feeling that they wouldn’t have gotten if they were just looking at individual pieces.” (1/2)

“As artists and storytellers, we get so into doing what we’re doing. The thing I have to fight against is overcompensation, which is, ‘I'm gonna do everything!’ You can burn yourself out because what we do is mental exercise, over and over and over with no break. And when I did take a break, I was able to come back with a fresh mind. I had more ideas and that extra wealth of knowledge from a few years off.

When my father passed in 2006, I was working, working, working. It knocked me on my butt. I had an opportunity to move to Atlanta. When I got there, the economic downturn hit. And at that point, I had to stop. My whole brain was done. No new ideas. It’s like getting COVID and you lose your taste. I lost my taste for art. For about a three-year period, I didn’t draw or write that much. I ended up working for Comcast in the sales department.

After a couple years, my guys hit me up and said, ‘We’re starting Lion Forge Comics. We need you to write some books.’ At that point, I hadn’t used that part of my brain for years. Now, mind you, I can’t ever stop it. There’s always some story popping into my head. So I had a whole bunch of stuff I hadn’t acted on, and the creative side of my brain was like, ‘Oh, I’m back in charge?’ ‘You’re back in charge!’ I ended up coming back into my creative self. Now, one of the things I try to recognize is when I’m doing too much. And I tell myself, ‘Take a break. You need to just step back.’” (3/3)
