Feb 10, 2025 | fullerproject.org | Eliza Anyangwe |Allan Olingo |Kamau Maichuhie |Lucy Sherriff

On January 20, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing a 90-day suspension on all U.S. foreign development assistance programs. These included critical programs in countries funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), including those supporting reproductive and maternal healthcare. Just two weeks in, the devastating consequences are already unfolding.
An Expectant LA Mom Makes a Tough Decision

Feb 3, 2025 | thestoryexchange.org | Lucy Sherriff

We’re finally back in LA, and reality has come crashing down. It’s almost been a month since my partner, Maurice, and I lost our Palisades condo in the fires. As I was six months pregnant, we temporarily headed up the coast, to the cleaner air of Oregon and Washington, and relied (in some cases) on the kindness of strangers to take us in. But LA is our home, even though I’m from the UK originally, and we’ve come back to the city to try to pick up the pieces.
It’s a new chapter in The Fuller Project’s story, and I want to write it with you

Feb 3, 2025 | fullerproject.org | Allan Olingo |Kamau Maichuhie |Lucy Sherriff

I’m obsessed with stories. It seems to me that everything we believe about who we are, our place in the world and the forces that shape our lives is conveyed through stories – and yes, then reinforced with social, economic, military or cultural might. I’m not just curious to hear new ones — I’m equally fascinated by how stories are told, which ones we choose to tell and what that says about the storyteller and the societies they live in.

Eat the peel: Why you might be throwing away the best bit of your fruitIsabelle Gerretsen, Martha Henriques, Jocelyn Timperley, Lucy Sherriff and Francis AgustinGetty ImagesInstead of throwing away edible and nutrient-rich peel of bananas, oranges and other fruits and veg, here are five ways to make the most of them.

On the Road Back to Los Angeles…And Feeling Grateful

Jan 22, 2025 | thestoryexchange.org | Lucy Sherriff

Nobody tells you just how much admin there is when your house burns down. Trying to find the mental space to complete mundane, tedious admin tasks whilst holding emotional space to process the trauma of what you’ve just been through is a difficult juggle to say the least. I’m lucky, we had renters insurance. That means we’ll receive money for what was inside our house – although it won’t cover anywhere near what we owned. Some of my neighbors didn’t. That’s left them turning to FEMA for help.
