Hi, my name is Theresa.

I am a logistician, traveler, writer, paper crafter, DIY-er, cocktail crafter, and an occasionally doting mother. I am foul-mouthed, not nearly as diplomatic as my profession might imply, and fiercely feminist.

Necessary disclaimers

The opinions expressed here on SVO are my own and do not reflect the opinions of the Department of State or the USG.

While I occasionally link to services and products I like, I receive no remuneration, financial or otherwise, for doing so.

I am going to admit to loving the 4th. I know that doing so calls into question my leftist credentials, but I love it for the same reason I love New Year’s and Easter and birthdays. They’re each an opportunity for renewal, for reflection, and to recommit to forging ahead towards a better, more just world. There’s a lot of work to do, and today, at least, I am optimistic that my country has the will to do it.

Man, the best thing about coming back to Benin is stocking up on snacks. I mean, obviously friends and family are up there too, but fried grated coconut and puffy fried tapioca have a special place in my heart. Bertrand, of course, swears by freshly roasted Beninese cashews. And the kids love the myriad forms of fried sweet dough and biscuits.

We’ve been buying our “amuse-bouches” at the same stand from the same vendor for over a decade now. She wasn’t interested in being photographed herself, but she did agree to let me take pictures of her delicious snacks.
