Denver is now home--in the best sense of the word--in no small part, because of St. Barnabas. After a career in the corporate sector, she spent twenty years working for nonprofits and serving on Stamford's Board of Education for ten years. Julia is trained and has trained others in anti-racist work. She is a widow and the grandmother of adorable fraternal twins.
