Twanda R. Fair has been sewing almost since she came out of the womb. Now, she's a sought-after seamstress focused on home designs throughout the metro Atlanta area and beyond. When she was a little girl, she handcrafted doll clothing from the leftover material her grandmother gave her.

She can be reached at atouchofclasstrf@gmail.com and her designs can be viewed on instagram.com/atouchofclasstrf.

Ever wonder why those old snapshots evoke such strong emotions, or why decluttering your digital albums can feel so therapeutic? We're exploring the psychology behind our attachment to photos and how organizing them can help you preserve memories, reduce stress, and reclaim your space. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Rachel Arbuckle, Founder of 2000 Paces Photo Organizing, and she shares insightful tips and tricks for turning your photo chaos into a curated collection.
In 2014, a series of fierce fires roared through San Diego County, the largest of which started on the mountain just behind Rachel’s home. She had only minutes to grab a few items. Her instinct was to gather all of her photos, but she panicked when she realized her precious memories were all over her home in boxes, picture frames, and albums. Rachel grabbed what she could and her family headed to safety.
After many days of worry, they were able to return home to the memories they had to leave behind. Thankfully, their home was spared, but others in the community were not as fortunate. This experience not only solidified Rachel’s commitment to protect her family’s collection of photos but prompted her to create 2000 Paces Photo Organizing, encouraging people to organize and protect their important memories.
