It was a pleasure getting to speak with author and actress, Karen Grassle. Karen was my childhood "Ma" in many ways through her character of Caroline Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie. I admired the character's inner strength and resilience amidst hardship and change.
Karen Grassle seems to share a similar resilience to the character she portrayed as she discussed with me how she walks through hardships. Karen also shared with me the difficulties she experienced as a child, as well as her desire to use her time well as an advocate for climate awareness.
