In Marin / YOUR VOICES
EMAIL “I’ve been receiving a hard copy of Marin Magazine and decided to write to express my disappointment that the ‘paper’ that is used appears not to be recyclable. While you purport to promote quality-of-life issues, it is incongruent to do so while adding to our landfill and carbon footprint.” — Stephen Kaplan Editor’s Note: We agree! We’re currently in the process of making the switch to recycled paper this year for that very reason.
Editor’s Note: Thank you for your feedback. We, too, feel it would be valuable to include more Indigenous voices in the publication and website, and welcome contributions from local Native American writers.

Correction: In the Keto-Friendly Fruit Crisp recipe in “Thanksgiving for All” in the November issue, the topping should contain 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
“San Rafael’s Huckleberry Youth Programs Surpasses Fundraising Goals With Roaring ’20s Benefit” by Donna Berry Glass “Thank you to Marin Magazine for featuring our Roaring ’20s event in the ‘Better Makers’ section! We’re so thrilled to be featured and extend a heartfelt thank you to all who attended the event, sponsored and donated.” — Huckleberry Youth Programs (via Facebook) “Lasting Legacy” by Mark Anthony Wilson “I wanted to get a message to Mark Anthony Wilson with regard to the article ‘Lasting Legacy.’ In it, he wrote that the Coast Miwok lived at Olompali until the early 1850s. I just want to point out a correction, in that there were Coast Miwok people living there in the 1860s as well. I’ve seen the census for the Olompali area, and in fact my ancestor was living there in 1860 along with other Coast Miwok people.” — Chelsea Nic Cormaic (via Facebook)

“Lasting Legacy” by Mark Anthony Wilson “I was very troubled by Mark Wilson's article, 'Lasting Legacy,' in the November issue of the magazine. I was initially delighted to see you highlighting Marin's Indigenous heritage, but as I settled in to read the article, I found myself increasingly bothered by Mr. Wilson's portrayal of the Miwok tribe’s treatment by the Spanish missionaries. His version of events was whitewashed beyond all recognition, with only the most glancing references to the horrible treatment to which the Miwok people were subjected. I hope you will consider running a counterpoint story in a future issue — perhaps Marin Magazine could hire an Indigenous writer to share the version of the Miwok tribe’s history they understand to be true." — Becki Singer
“Brit Morin is on a Mission to Help Women Realize Their Potential — the Founder, Columnist and Podcaster Shares How With her Latest Venture, Selfmade” by Jakhongir Azimov “Beauty & Brains… you may know Brit from her media company, Brit & Co, where she teaches creativity to millions of women. She also leads an entrepreneurial program called Selfmade and a podcast called Teach Me Something New. What you may not know is that she’s also a venture capitalist who has a $100 million fund called Offline Ventures (we might be a little biased because Offline most recently backed this very company). But I think we can all agree this woman is a force of nature. Brit wears our Jovie and Lana Dresses in her @marinmagazine cover story.” #AALovesBrit — Autumn Adeigbo (@autumn_adeigbo on Instagram)
