For my Grandma G (or at least that's what I called her), the answer is a lot.
Anna Lee Kelly Gagnon was born on July 14th, 1933, in North Collins, New York, to Mom's "Aunt Vivian". And if I described a childhood absent of the violence of poverty characteristic of rural life in the great depression, I wouldn't be doing her character justice. Irish joy, rural ingenuity, front porches, and fresh air formed her well. Thirty-three years after entering the world, Anna Lee dropped the "Anna" and became one of the female trailblazers in the Buffalo City Clerk's Office. I don't know how to explain the enormity of being one of few, if not the only, female minds in a room full of dense thinkers and gray suits, but I've felt it too.
Belle of the Ball, at the 1975 Erie County Bar Association Law Day Ceremonies as Associate Court Clerk of the Criminal Records Room, Grandma G received "A Special Recognition" for outstanding service to the legal profession, after joining the Clerk's Office in 1966. She was the first female recognized, per the theme.
Mom says, she doesn't think Aunt Vivian (Grandma G's mother) attended high school. What did that award mean to the farm?
One of many Irish siblings, Grandma G could see your strength and weakness in a 3 sec. bright blue-eyed country glance.
She understood the vulnerability of my Latina identity. And encouraged me to study political science and to think of myself as a critical and serious thinker, even as a child. She made me feel capable and I am not the only one. Her determination and confidence paved the way for many.
Grandma G had country values like ice-cold lemonade. A critical thinker, sitting next to a bible, with a wink.
Driving up from the south towns, right when I hit that curve, and see the cityscape, I think of her and the lives of rural women across America.
How much would Grandma G’s ascent off the farm and into the prim rows of suburban brick cost now?
How accessible is the urban and regional job market for rural women and how do we treat the women who can't swing a suitcase over their shoulder and get up and leave? How do we connect them?
I ponder their access to information, opportunity, health and education centers, and female-affirming services. I often consider how rural life informs the “diversity” we are always hoping to achieve- dramatically I think.
When I failed the bar, Grandma G didn't mind. Without question she expected me to take it again. And again until I passed. I guess she figured, she got to be a clerk, two generations later, I graduated Law School and that was progress, but I still owe her that one.
This month’s call to action is to ask yourself : How am I approaching my challenges and opportunities compared to my sisters in the country? And is it with the same resolve? And if you want to learn more about their social realities read the 2023 USDA’s “Rural America At A Glance”. And if you are one of the sisters in the country “figuring it out”. Keep pushing, Don't let the tired touch your dreams. And if you hit the highway, the real one, or the digital one, Buffalo, and its job market, will be waiting in person and online.
Cus Grandma G did it, and so can you. Just give it some elbow grease, Why don’t ya? Talia Rodriguez

“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.” -- Charlie Chaplin
Caring for one another has never been more important. When we see people of all ages engrossed with texting and using their phones rather than actually speaking with each other, you can’t help but wonder about the loss of interaction, the loss of humanity.
Granted, today’s phones are endlessly entertaining and clever, but taking the time to sit and talk with a friend in person is so much more rewarding. Visiting an older relative and learning about family history can be an experience not duplicated by search engines and web sites.
Kindness and gentleness have not been lost, but they often take a back seat in today’s hurry-hurry world. We need to remember to treat each other with love and compassion.
