Community artist Ashley Minner Jones tells of growing up in Dundalk, surrounded by family. Her bond with her grandmother was special.

Minner Jones is a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and an artist, scholar and historian. She researched and created a walking tour of Baltimore’s Lumbee Community. There’s an accompanying website and a phone app for self-guided tours, too.

She also created a recent exhibition called “Safety in Numbers: Portraits of East Baltimore’s “Reservation."

Find out about the next live Stoop Show on May 31 at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. And listen to more stories from the Stoop Storytelling Series on their podcast.
