2021

2021 was a mixed bag for the Fargo-Moorhead business community. Unfortunately, we saw closures of some local favorites, including The Duane's House of Pizza in Moorhead. Yes, they are still open on University and next to the Southtown Pourhouse in Fargo (and thank god they are.) However, some of my most memorable childhood moments were spent at that Moorhead location and that's because the only time I got to go there was if I was spending time with my grandparents, who still live in Moorhead to this day. Whether my brother and I were just hanging out with them, watching my Grandpa play in one of his men's league hockey games or staying over at their place for a sleepover, Duane's House of Pizza was a regular place for us to eat together. I cherish those memories and will always remember that place fondly.

8 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

However, our community doesn't tend to look at the doom and gloom of things and neither will we. The magazine highlights a very small portion of the businesses we are excited to see open over the past year. But nevertheless, we hope you will use it to explore something new in town!

“We have been working with SWL for 8 years. They help us with HR practices, contracts, and other legal issues that come up. I love how progressive and proactive they are. They have always felt like a partner and not just a law firm we call when we need something.” MIKE DRAGOSAVICH

Founder, Spotlight

In 2021, we had the pleasure of speaking to an assortment of brilliant, creative and hard working business professionals. In order to properly celebrate them, we decided to take a look back at many of the great photos we took in 2021.

North Dakota State has one of the most consistently successful athletic programs in the country. What's even more impressive is that a high number of its most successful athletes hail from its very own backyard, which is one of the least populous states in the country. All of the athletes in this issue exemplify what it means to be North Dakotan. They are the Pride of the Prairie.

For this year's Design & Living Holiday Shopping Guide Issue, we wanted to showcase the rich Scandinavian culture Fargo-Moorhead offers. We connected with some of our favorite Scandinavianinspired gift shops in the area, selecting some of our favorite gift items to share with you along the way. Merry Christmas from the Design & Living team!

MEET GENEVA! Hello! My name is Geneva Nodland, I am the new Co-Editor for Fargo Monthly! I am very excited to be a part of a publication that gets to share the countless inspiring and fun stories of our local community. I am originally from Dickinson, North Dakota, but have lived in FargoMoorhead for about four years. I am a recent graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead, from the School of Communication & Journalism. I owe most of my experience to my time at MSUM, where I learned the ins and outs of journalism and was able to put my knowledge to work through the school newspaper, the Advocate. I made my way through almost all of the roles, starting as freelance writer, to section editor, to photographer, to associate editor, and eventually editor-in-chief. But, I have to say my favorite part of any of my roles was when I was out in the community,

meeting fascinating individuals and telling their stories. There’s nothing like seeing someone’s eye’s light up as they’re talking about something they’re passionate about, and the honor that comes with them trusting you to tell their story. Although I grew up in North Dakota and have lived here my whole life, Fargo has always felt so different from the rest of the state. If anything, the sheer size difference from any other city should be different enough, but that's not just it. There’s something about Fargo that's always buzzing. Whether it’s the plethora of weekday and weekend community events, the college life that seeps it’s way into the city anywhere you look, or the commitment and support of small and local businesses; Fargo not only has something for everyone, but almost everything for us. And I make that bold statement because I fully believe that if there’s a need for something in the community, there are individuals here who will make it happen. Creative and intuitive minds collaborating and backed with community support makes for our own little melting pot in the midwest. We’ve seen it through the growth of our downtown area, in the flourishing local arts, in a spike in restaurants featuring dishes we’ve never heard of, in experts offering local solutions to businesses’ needs, and so much more. This issue of Fargo Monthly is the perfect example of this. We took a look at just some of the unique businesses that have opened up in the last year, learned their story and wanted to share it with you. Just when you think you know everything there is to know about Fargo, the wonderful people of this community prove you otherwise. I am very excited to have the opportunity to continue exploring the FM community with the readers of Fargo Monthly!

We don't just like Fargo, we love Fargo! And if there’s one thing Fargo does great, it’s supporting new businesses in the community — something we aren't lacking in. Seemingly every month, we are treated to another dining or entertainment option. Our city is constantly welcoming great places to spend time with friends and family, or even just some time with yourself. The 10 places we chose to feature in this magazine aren't necessarily the 10 things that we are most excited about, there are far too many businesses in and around the community worth experiencing! They simply provide a glimpse into some of the new gems that help create the community we call home.

SUSHI BURRITO

Nutdanai Nongnuang and Aleyah Fettig opened Sushi Burrito Cafe in January, and now after being open almost a full year, they say they’ve learned a lot but still have more in store for their business.

i All of the sush ed burritos are nam ead after a pun… h uess g to to the cafe r the pun of you favorite roll!

18 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Inside the cafe you’ll find lots of color, local art displayed on the walls, beautifully homemade paper flowers by Aleyah’s mother, the perfect LED and leafy “instagrammable” wall art and of course an abundance of different treats for whatever you’re craving. When most people think of sushi, they might imagine a sit-down restaurant where you’ll spend a few hours devouring your favorite rolls; but at Sushi Burrito Cafe, the owners wanted to keep the delicious dish while creating a new concept. They developed it around the idea that there are a lot of on-

the-go people in downtown Fargo, and a lot of busy college students. They wanted to offer them an easy way to enjoy their meal, so they developed the concept of sushi “burritos.” They also offer their signature burritos in poke bowl form, and a variety of shareable plates and classic boba teas. Their main focus is Japanese food, as Aleyah is from Japan, but the restaurant also has a bit of Thai influence, as Nutdanai is from Thailand. Regardless of what you’re eating or drinking, the two want to ensure quality over anything. “We make everything fresh here,” Nutdanai said. “If it goes bad, it goes bad. I’d rather dump it out than use it again and risk customers getting sick because you want to save a couple bucks.”

“We definitely pride ourselves on making a lot of things homemade,” Aleyah explained. They knew they wanted to open their business downtown, and now they’ve met other businesses in the area and support one another. They’ve grown close to their neighbors, especially since they share a kitchen with Pho D'licious. “You want everybody to be successful, not just you.” Nutdanai explained. “That's the kind of mindset we’re going towards, so if they’re successful, we'll be successful downtown.”

If you come in here, you're going to be treated well.” If you’re not already on your way after seeing the photo of the “fiery 007” burrito roll, you can find Sushi Burrito Cafe on Northern Pacific Ave in downtown Fargo the next time you need a quick bite or are looking for a cute place where your phone can eat first!

UNITED STATES

United Niki Knight, owner of old axe States Axe, with her g United State Axe brings a competitive edge to an already unique passtime. Owners Niki and Dustin Knight had always wanted to open a business together. After going axe throwing together, Dustin said it felt like therapy for him. With their growing business, Dustin and Niki’s have always wanted to support U.S. veterans. Dustin, being a veteran himself, found it hard to transition after he’d spent part of his life in the military. Once they opened their business, the couple wanted to help others who felt the same as Dustin

did. They support veterans in different ways. They work with Eagle's Healing Nest in Sauk Center, Minnesota, where local veterans built the wooden tables and bean bag toss boards at their location. In addition, they have quite a few veterans on staff. “[Dustin] could do a lot of jobs. But I think anybody in the military can relate–once you've been in the service for so long, it's hard to go back to a traditional job,” Niki explained. “So, this for him is perfect, and I think for a lot of other people it's a good, different thing to feel passionate about.”

One of the unique features of United States Axe is their focus on the sport of axe throwing. “You could walk up to a target with an axe, and you could get it to successfully stick. But it feels better when you can accelerate that process,” Niki said. Both Nicki and Dustin compete in national and international competitions, and they bring those pro skills to their customers. When you come in, they will coach you on how to throw the axe until you feel comfortable, then the game

“You don't have to walk in the door and compete, you can just have fun; but it is nice to have somebody guide you because for most people, they've never done this before,” she said.

RED RIVER REFI

Once she had the idea of a local refillery, Krista started working on her pop-up shop where people could refill on sustainably sourced products by the ounce and purchase household items to replace plastic ones. Since April of this year, Krista has offered the Fargo-Moorhead community these resources at farmers markets, craft shows and even through a local delivery and pickup system. For about a year and a half, Krista researched and bought products from different companies to figure out where she wanted to source her refill products and retail items from.

22 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Prior to Red River Refillery, Krista ran a home daycare and then was a stay at home mom, so starting and owning a business was new territory for her. To get started, she participated in CO.STARTERS, a cohort based entrepreneurship program through Emerging Prairie that equips small businesses with insights, relationships and tools to support their entrepreneurial journeys. There, she learned about the possibility of opening a pop-up shop, which would allow her to dip her toes in the proverbial pond rather than diving headfirst with a brick-and-mortar spot.

However, as Krista has found success through her pop-up locations and learned more along the way, she says Red River Refillery will have its own location by fall of next year. Though she can’t explain it, Krista was driven to open the sustainable refillery. “I wanted to shop this way, that’s the first main reason [why I wanted to open], and I figured more people had to as well…” she explained. “I never knew what I wanted to do in life, other than be a parent. And then all of a sudden, it's like, this feels so right.”

Krista said the most rewarding part of her journey thus far has been starting to see “familiar faces” at her pop-ups. If you’re interested in visiting Red River Refillery and finding out what products you can bring into your life to reduce waste visit the refillery’s Facebook page to see where Krista’s next pop-up location is or visit redriverrefillery.com.

Geneva Nodland

The way the refillery works is quite simple. You bring an empty bottle (she sells clean, empty bottles if you don’t have any) and choose what product you want to fill it with. Then Krista weighs the bottle so she can subtract that from the weight after filling, and you just pay by the ounce! You can also order refills and items online for delivery or pick up from various locations. Some of her more popular products are laundry detergent and shampoo, but she offers various products for the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, in addition to miscellaneous items like reusable produce bags and more.

Have you ever brought your garbage out and realized you had more recycling than trash? Feels nice, right? Well, only about 9 percent of plastic really gets recycled. So before you celebrate you might want to figure out how you can create less waste in general. This is exactly what Krista Erickson thought before she decided to open Red River Refillery, a place to refill common household products to reduce waste by cutting down on empty plastic bottles.

Laducer explained how easy it was to grab something and go, as the area even has its own entrance for anyone who wants to grab some grub and go. “People really love our food.

JASPER HOTEL

26 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

The Jasper Hotel opened this summer and since has drawn the community in with it’s intriguing story, local events and delicious food. The design of the hotel and rooms were intentional, down to the color of the bathroom tiles. Designers were inspired by the prairie, and wanted the decor to represent the community, geographically and historically. The name Jasper comes from Jasper B. Chaplin, a former mayor of Fargo in the late 1800’s when Fargo was experiencing a large

boom, and who received the nickname, “Father of Fargo.” There are many connections with Fargo’s history scattered throughout the hotel, but that’s not the extent. Rosewild is a Scandinavian inspired restaurant inside the hotel, the bow on top of this home-awayfrom-home space. In addition, atop the terrace that lines the South and West corner of the building, you may be able to spot a bride and groom or students in a yoga class during

NAMASTE CHAI

Owner of Namaste Chai, Rani Singh, had always had the influence of hard work and of course, chai, in her life. She worked in her family’s restaurant growing up in Indianapolis, and again here in Fargo, at India Palace. Singh has her own family now, and wanted to find balance between her work and being a mother. She opened her traveling drive-thru chai cart on August 29. “I can control my hours, I can be here for two hours, go home and be a mom,” she explained.

30 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

While opening her business was intimidating at first, Singh is supported by the community as she sees familiar faces at her cart, even if those faces have changed with the passing months. “We just needed it.” Singh explained. “Getting up in the morning to have something healthy, something that isn't full of sugar or something that isn't full of chemicals; I can give someone real spices and make them feel good, that’s what we want to do.”

Namaste Chai is organic and chock full of good ingredients, green cardamom, black cardamom, cloves, ginger, basil, and star anise to name a few. _(name)_ uses natural sweeteners like honey to make her drinks’ flavors. The fruity flavored chai teas are popular with the afternoon crowd, but Singh says the Dirty Chai with a shot of caramel or vanilla is her most popular option “especially in the morning.” In addition to their menu items, Singh has featured seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and cider chai.

As the temperatures continue to drop, Singh thinks December will be their last month open for the year. But if you missed Namaste Chai around town, keep March in mind as their potential reopening in 2022. Stay up to date

HOIST HOCKEY

However, it can be a challenge in this hockeycrazed part of the country to provide children with the proper skill development necessary to compete with their peers while still keeping the game fun. Hoist Hockey is looking to change that. In this part of the world, people take their hockey very seriously. Usually, children start skating at the age of three (or younger),

32 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

playing at five and training very seriously shortly after. Oftentimes, that training will take the form of traditional drills. Think cones, whistles and instruction from coaches. While necessary, this way of learning leaves out a couple very important elements in player development — fun and creativity. At Hoist Hockey, the central part of player development is the most fun part, playing the game, which is done on a smaller rink in 3 v. 3 fashion in order to work on reaction time and quick decision making.

"The whole idea behind the business is just to give kids a chance to play more," said Founder Harry Wood. "Instead of whistles and yelling coaches, we want kids to have the opportunity to just play the game. The usage of the outdoor rinks has decreased year after year, and there's a number of factors towards that. But here, parents can drop their kids off, they have supervision, they have hockey coaches that are helping give them with instruction, but it's up to them to learn how to make passes, learn how to make

fun as it can possibly be. The goal is to let the kids have fun, let them play but then be working towards their athletic and hockey performance along the way, " said Wood, who got the idea for Hoist Hockey from several similar facilities in the twin cities area as well as Canada.

INDIGO BLOOM

Owner of Indigo Bloom, Jessica Bledsoe, started her journey with yoga just as many others have; in her parents' basement watching someone on YouTube. She eventually found a local studio to grow her passion for yoga. What started as an outlet for Jessica’s anxiety and depression turned to something she wanted to explore deeper. “As being somebody who was never fully athletic, I found something that I could actually do. And I found power in it,” Jessica said.

34 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Once she was hooked on the practice, she decided to do her 200-hour training to receive her certification. Like many others, the pandemic took away the ability to practice in a studio, so Jessica decided then to do her additional 300-hour training. Eventually, she traveled to Arizona and took a yoga class there. She said that class was liberating for her and she knew immediately afterwards that she was going to change careers and open her own studio. “I just really wanted to give back to Fargo what yoga had

given to me, an outlet for your mind and your soul through a workout,” she said. Indigo Bloom features a large heated studio, raw juice bar, and a variety of apparel to purchase. Jessica works to make sure what she offers supports small businesses or sustainability.

Jessica wanted to open a studio that was a welcoming space for everyone to practice yoga in. Even the name Indigo was chosen with this idea in mind. She explained that the word ‘indigo’ is “related to deviation and helping others, and suggests fairness and impartiality.” At Indigo Bloom, Jessica wants to give the comfort that regardless of level, no one will ever be judged there.

Each month, we take a peak at something great in Fargo-Moorhead. The hard part? There's so much that is new and exciting. With this in mind, it can be even harder to pick a cover story, much less a cover for the magazine. However, this is something we must do every month. Here is a look back at the covers and cover stories Fargo Monthly put together in 2021. All of these articles can be found on fargomonthly.com or issuu.com/fmspotlight

february: We all have a sugar craving every once in a while, a hankering for something sweet and delicious.

We're here to celebrate those sugary delights provided by local bakeries, pastry shops and candy companies. The next time you have that sugar craving, look no further.

MARCH: We all strive to feel and look our best. How we feel is one of the fundamental principles of health and wellness.

Whether it is eating right or exercising, getting motivated to be healthy can sometimes be a struggle. This month, we are here to meet you where you are at in your health and fitness journey. Whether you are beginning, continuing or returning to a healthy lifestyle, we have the stories and resources for you.

april: Small business is a vital part of any community. Regardless of the type of business, Fargo-Moorhead continues to be a burgeoning area for new, local businesses. An industry this is most prevalent in is fashion and shopping. We have been so lucky to welcome new boutiques, stores and businesses to our ever-growing community. This month, we highlight a few small businesses in that industry. Each of the four businesses featured within has its own niche within the shopping world. What they all have in common is this: they are owned and operated by women. Meet these strong women and the businesses behind them.

may: We have spent well over a year in seclusion from the outside world. With the days of quarantine slowly fading away and the weather warming, it's time to get out. The summer is a perfect time to load up the car or camper and have an adventure. Whether it is a journey to a state park with the family or a national park with friends, the great outdoors beckons.

Books To Read! Bohjalian’s latest thriller is sure to get readers in the appropriate autumnal mindset. I myself lit a Pumpkin Cheesecake candle and threw on my old MSUM sweater before reading. Hour of the Witch takes us to Boston in 1664. Twenty-four year old Mary Deerfield does the unthinkable for the time: files for divorce against her wellstanding, abusive husband. Through a series of coincidental events, she then finds herself accused of witchcraft and in fear for her very life—and soul. Although the novel is rather lengthy, I found this a fast read, as I was caught up in the many intricate superstitious twists-and-turns Bohjalian cleverly

(and even better, believably) pulls together. The horror was subtle, but impactful—a perfect psychological terror. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone is guilty…of something. On the surface, this is a book about Witchcraft and American Puritanism, but the reality is, the more prevalent themes are much deeper, and more relatable. Readers will get nice and uncomfortable with presented questions like “How much wrong is too much wrong?” “Am I the only one who feels this way?” “Is everyone as inherently good or evil as I am?” You may never look at your neighbors the same way again.

The ending came to a decently fulfilling conclusion, but after all Mary’s ruminations, I did feel a little let down. However, this led me to believe this was the author’s intention, that our brains make our surroundings more frightening than they really are—which, as we know, led many unfortunate Puritans to the end of a rope. 3.5 stars. If you’re looking for other media involving strong women accused of being witches, I recommended Netflix’s three-part Fear Street series.

I received this book for Christmas last year, and couldn’t be more excited to crack it open. Immediately, I fell in love with the entire aesthetic, Moreno-Garcia’s use of language, and protagonist Noemi’s energy and spirit. Noemi is a beautiful debutante socialite not afraid to get her hands dirty—and to stick her nose where it decidedly doesn’t belong. So when she receives a mysterious, cryptic letter from her beloved cousin Catalina—who just so happens to live with her cold, handsome Englishman husband in the spookiest old mansion one can imagine—Noemi leaves Mexico City and immediately treks ahead on the journey. She is less than welcomed by frail, unnerving Howard; strict, cruel Florence; intimidating husband Virgil; and timid confidante Francis. The family insists nothing is wrong with Catalina, but it soon becomes clear she might not be the only one in danger: because High Place might just devour them all.

I must first address that I could see where Moreno-Garcia was headed to make the horror in Mexican Gothic blend into the overall plot. But (and I can’t believe I’m writing this) perhaps she introduced a few too many macabre elements in attempt to make the book as scary as possible. This muddled the story. I love guts and gore and the unexplained as much as (just kidding, probably more than) the next person, but if the author doesn’t fully explain why those elements were inserted, it completely tanks the believability of the book. I believe readers will find Noemi delightfully obnoxious, devilishly smart, and refreshingly confident. You will want to live in her world of glamour and livelihood, disease and decay. Mexican Gothic may just make you leave the light on. 4 stars. Older teens may also enjoy. Similar works centered around possibly possessed manors include Crimson Peak (film) and The Haunting of Hill House (book).

Stretches to Increase Squat Mobility

If there is one thing we need to know about the human body, it’s that we are all built differently and therefore we all move differently. The human body comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. When it comes to the squat movement, many different aspects of the body must be focused on in order to find proper form and mobility. I mention this simply to say that there are countless options for mobility and activation exercises that can be selected based on the athlete's needs. However, we will stick

is doing, keep the focus on the active leg. Slowly drive the active leg’s knee towards the wall as you will begin to feel a pull in the back of the lower leg. If the knee touches the wall without feeling the pull, or if your heel comes off the ground before your knee touches, simply adjust the foot's distance to the wall to find the sweet spot. Slowly drive into a slightly uncomfortable position and hold for a designated amount of time. Come back out, relax, and then push back in a little farther each time. A good starting point is 3 rounds, 20 seconds each round.

Coaching Tips: Place yourself in a crouching position. Place your hand where the back of the neck meets the shoulder blades. From here you will rotate your elbow down towards your opposing hand,

*Disclaimer: If you are unsure about performing any of these exercises, make sure to consult with your physician before hand. If you feel pain beyond the typical discomfort that you would associate with a usual stretching exercise, back off, modify or discontinue the exercise.

Coaching Tips: First off, the exercise should be done in bare feet, socks, or as minimal or footwear as possible. Bring the active leg’s foot (the front foot) away from the wall 2-4 inches. It does not matter what the back leg

The Why: As I stated in the previous exercise, sometimes we must look beyond the hips when diagnosing squat mobility issues. After assessing the ankle, we look at what’s going on above the hips. Another typical area I see issues is in the thoracic, or posterior rib cage area.

About the author:

to five entry level movements that will help athletes of any level increase their squat mobility for a better, more effective squat.

The Why: The squat is a compound structured movement. That means that we use the entire body to create the movement. Therefore, when diagnosing squat immobility, we must look beyond just the hips. A lack of mobility of the ankle may be the culprit breaking your squat form short of depth.

HEALTH & WELLNESS SPOTLIGHT

Pigeon Stretch The Why: This exercise is fundamental in opening the external range of motion of the hip socket. It is also a good stretch for helping in lengthening of the hip flexors. This allows you to better open your hips when performing the squat. Which translates over time to a deeper squat.

Coaching Tips: Act like you’re creating an arrow with your legs pointing away from you. Place the active leg across the front of your body with your knee and toes facing forward. The non-active leg is extended out behind you. Keeping your spine straight with your shoulders and hips square, lean your body in towards the top of your knee.

The Why: This movement is excellent for building squat mobility. It does this through stretching the flexors and adductors of the legs simultaneously. This allows us to push range of motion bilaterally (both legs), which is a better indicator of overall hip mobility for the squat movement.

Start Position

Lean in until you feel an uncomfortable stretch on the outside of the hip and leg. Hold for 20 seconds and then release. Repeat this for 3 sets on each side. This stretch may also be done from an elevated position such as a bench or plyometrics box.

been secured, begin to rock back and forth through range of motion. As you drive back into the squat position, push uncomfortably into the stretch while keeping posture. Hold for 10-20 seconds and then release coming back to the starting position. Repeat this for 5 reps.

Coaching Tips: Start out on both your elbows and knees while keeping a straight back from head to tail bone. Make sure your feet are facing away from each other and away from your body. Once this position has

Frog Stretch

End Position

The Why: This is a great movement for opening and stretching the flexor muscle group, as well the quadriceps group. Because we find ourselves in a sitting position in both professional and personal aspects of our lives. Tight flexors are one of the most common issues I see amongst athletes in all age and fitness levels. This stretch is the perfect starting point to counter this issue. Coaching Tips: When attempting this stretch the upper body must maintain a

Drop your hips straight down, driving the rear knee in a vertical direction towards the floor while in a modified lunge position. You will feel a stretch in the front of the hip and the quadricep of the rear leg. Push into this position until you feel an uncomfortable stretch. Hold for 20 seconds and then release the stretch. Repeat this 3 times on

each leg.

Helping Others Thrive Happy Holidays! During this eventful period of the year when people are celebrating with their family and friends, I wanted to visit with someone who needs to be celebrated for their servant leadership. Mrs. Ruth Emmanuel Tesfaye was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After graduating from high school, she moved to the United States to attend Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. She received her undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Concordia in 2017 and earned her master’s degree in Accounting from NDSU in 2018. She currently works as a Corporate Accountant at American Crystal Sugar Company in Moorhead, MN. She lives in Fargo, with her husband, Million Tesfaye. Her drive, love for others, and stellar attitude makes her an asset to our community: the FM area is fortunate Lady Ruth calls here her "home away from her ancestral home," Ethiopia! Until our enchanting paths cross again: Umwaka Mushya Muhire! (Happy New Year in KinyaRwanda) - Cyusa 46 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Where do you call home? Addis Ababa and Fargo-Moorhead are the places I call home as I feel a sense of belongingness in both places. Three years after I moved to the United States, I felt at home for the first time when I started living with my American family, the Schaefer family. Steve and Terese Schaefer are the reason I called Fargo-Moorhead home for the first time. In Ethiopian tradition, when a girl gets married, the groom comes to her parents’ home to pick her up. That’s where my husband picked me up on the morning of our wedding day, from the Schaefer household, from home. My husband was also born in Ethiopia but grew up in Fargo. We currently live in Fargo and I am glad I have two places I call home, Addis Ababa and FargoMoorhead. What is your journey of growth and what lessons did you learn before coming to Fargo? My parents believed in instilling important values in their children at a young age. When I look at my values, it’s evident that they are tremendously influenced by how my family raised me, which I’m very thankful for. However, there is always room to inculcate yourself and those around you with additional positive values. It is good to practice selfbetterment on a daily basis in order to give yourself a chance to have stronger values and portray them through your actions. If you think you are a kind person, find another person kinder than you and strive to be as kind as them. When you achieve that, move to the next kinder person, and strive to be like them. I learned setting an example helps with this process. What's the story of your passion for GCA Thrive and how did you land in Fargo? When I was a senior in high school, I started searching for colleges in the United States. Of the colleges I applied and got accepted to, my heart and my family’s heart (especially my mom’s) settled on Concordia College. If you asked me the specific reasons behind

my decision, I would not be able to state the exact reasons, but when I look back now, eight years after of making that decision, all I can say is it was God’s guidance. I am a firm believer that where He guides, He provides. After graduating from Concordia in 2017, I decided to continue with my master’s degree in Accounting mainly because I wanted to achieve the 150 credits requirement to sit for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam. That’s when I met Alicia Helion Belay, the co-founder and President of GCA Thrive. Alicia and the Schafer’s met at a Rotary meeting in winter of 2017. After they introduced me to Alicia, we met in person at Atomic Coffee on a snowy day. We talked for several hours, and she shared with me her passion about building a path to independence for individuals in Africa. Since Alicia lived in Ethiopia while pursuing her Doctorate degree in health and social psychology, she has an insight into some of the issues the country faces and what she can do to help improve some of these conditions. My involvement in GCA Thrive commenced as a result of our meeting. We are primarily focused on microloan projects, which provide startup capital, training, and support to new entrepreneurs. We target women with disabilities, who have the least access to jobs in Africa. It brings joy to me that I can be part of this great organization. As a treasurer at the organization, I utilize my accounting skills to prepare budgets, financial statements, and file taxes for the organization. It’s an absolute pleasure that I get to be use my skills to help. What's your story about giving back to your country of birth, Ethiopia?

mentioned above, our organization’s focus revolves around microloan projects–we support new entrepreneurs so that they can thrive without needing constant support. There is nothing more rewarding than giving back and making a difference in people’s lives. Giving always seems to be tied up to monetary or material contribution. But you can give so many other things (such as your time, energy, knowledge, experience, etc.) and make a huge impact on others. Why should and how can people learn about outside the Midwest? Letting the media be the only source of information to build our perception of places outside the Midwest is not a wise choice, in my opinion. I don’t think anyone would argue that the media can be biased and that it can distort reality to an extent and portray an inaccurate image. Getting out of your comfort zone and connecting with individuals from different cultural backgrounds is the first step. This will enhance our cultural awareness and help us see past the stereotypes. What is your vision for 2030? Where will you be and why? Professionally, I hope I can finally add the three letters behind my name (CPA) after finishing my last exam in April of the coming year. Overall, I hope I find myself kinder, more generous and more loving than I am now. Like I said earlier, I believe it’s important to practice selfbetterment on a daily basis in order to give yourself a chance to have stronger values and portray them through your actions. To achieve this, setting an example is imperative. For me, that example is Christ.

Our projects are focused on the continent of Africa as a whole, but mainly target Ethiopia and Kenya. Ethiopia is an East African country mostly known for its misfortunes rather than its tangible and intangible heritages, welcoming climate and tremendous natural resources. Ethiopia is one of the birth places of ancient civilization in addition to being bestowed with numerous wildlife. Like 47

Slow Burn I

f there’s one thing that completes wintery cozy nights it’s absolutely candles–and Anna Macy of Slow Burn is creating beautiful beeswax candles just for you this holiday season! Stop by the Very Merry Market Sunday, Dec 12 noon to 6 p.m. at Drekker to meet the maker in person and shop local, too!

Tell us a bit about yourself: Hey there! My name is Anna Macy (she/ her). I grew up in Fertile, MN, a tiny, quaint town way up north, and moved to FargoMoorhead in 2012. The restaurant industry has been a big part of my world and has been my “regular job” for most of my life. I love being in nature so when I get a chance to skip town you can find me making coffee over a fire, searching for rocks and setting up camp. A couple of my favorite spots are the badlands of South Dakota or, a little closer to home, Minnesota’s North Shore. I’m happiest when I can create. I’ve always enjoyed sewing, drawing and making with my hands, and I try to do so as often as possible. My work with Slow Burn goes beyond candle making and I like to create sketches for all of the postcards, business cards, and tags. Creating feels very personal to me and having a hand in each of the elements is something I really enjoy. Describe what type of products you make?

48 | DECEMBER 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

I create a variety of candles from locally sourced beeswax. Actually, the beeswax I use comes from my hometown–Fertile, MN–where there are a lot of beekeepers in the area. I make tapers, celebration candles

and number candles. My tapers range from standard straight to a corkscrew-like spiral. I hand dip, hand mold and form each candle individually. I don’t add any scents or dyes to my work because I feel the beeswax really speaks for itself. It’s a beautiful product that naturally has a warm, earthy, slightly sweet aroma which comes from the plant nectar carried by pollinating bees. Beeswax is the slowest burning of all the common candle waxes which lends to my products having plenty of hours of burn time. Tell us how you got started? I first began making candles as a way to sooth my winter blues. As we Midwesterners know all too well, the days are short and the nights can be long and cold. But, while standing over my stove, the act of dipping, rolling and creating candles became really meditative for me. After some time of making for family and friends, I applied for the Unglued Craft Fest and, to my joy, got in! It was at that time, during the application process really, that Slow Burn as it is today really came to fruition. So if you’re thinking about it–go for it!

What is your personal favorite item you have created? My favorite item is a candle I call the “Joan.” The style came from an experimental making day and was the first time I looked at my work and thought “Wow, this is really beautiful.” I named her Joan because she is both bold and feminine which fit so in–sync with many “Joans” that come to my mind. How do you come up with new types of candles? What are you inspired by? I’m most inspired by the product itself–the wax. I usually start by creating a classic taper then I’ll bend and shape it while it’s still malleable to see where I can take it. I like to create styles that will carry the integrity of beeswax which is known for minimal dripping and its long, slow burn. Candles with a lot of bends or extreme edges won’t always carry those traits along so I like to try to keep things as organic as possible. It seems like people have either taken up the Hygge lifestyle or at least are trying to, and candles are such a huge part of creating that warm, cozy environment. What do you feel candles bring to a home or space? I think that lighting a candle can be a really intentional act. It’s bringing us into our space in a way by saying I am here and I don’t plan to leave. A candle sets a

tone, it calls attention to our senses, it’s an opportunity to be still, or draw us into our company. With daylight hours so fleeting this time of year, a moment with a lit candle can provide a silver lining to the darkness. What is something you've enjoyed the most from creating these items? Slow Burn has become my opportunity to be still and let my mind be fueled by creation. That’s what I enjoy the most. Overall, doing this has become my personal space. I love the element of candles that is practical, functional and emotional. It’s important to me to put my heart and attention into each piece and for that moment, I try not to focus on much else. What is the most challenging thing? Without a doubt it’s wicks! In this process, I’ve learned there is quite a science behind wicking and finding the right wick for your candle’s needs. Material, ply, and braid type all play into this. A LOT of trial and error has taken place in the name of wicking. For now, I think I’ve found what works for my needs. For now…

What advice would you have given yourself 10 years ago? That it’s ok (and necessary) to say no! 10 years ago I was going to school taking as many classes as I could and working any moment I wasn’t at school. Life beyond those two elements became something I had to schedule in. It’s taken years but I’ve learned where to draw my line and give time to my priorities which has made way for a much more fulfilling way of life. Where can people find your work? I’m so happy to say you can find Slow Burn in Unglued and at the upcoming Very Merry Holiday Craft Market taking place at Drekker Brewing on December 12th. I’m also on Instagram and have a website! Website/social: Follow along on Instagram @ slowburn_______ and find my products on: slow-burn.square.site

What is a word that best describes you? I think a word that describes me the most is introspective.
