Cindy Waszak Geary grew up in the southeastern United States in the 1950s and 60s. She received a PhD in social psychology from the University of North Carolina. For over 30 years, she applied this content knowledge to global health research. This work took her across the United States and around the world to many countries in Africa and Asia. Her travels to new places and different cultures sparked an interest in black and white photography, which she used to document her experiences. As she found herself winding down her public health research career after three decades, she had a strong desire to write stories about social justice through the lens of her own experience.In 2017, she co-authored ""Going to School in Black and White: A Dual Memoir of Desegregation"" with LaHoma Smith Romocki. Cindy and LaHoma describe how, as two teenage girls who lived across town from each other-one black, one white-they were altered by a court-ordered desegregation plan for Durham, NC, in 1970. She began the investigation that became Ancestral Landscapes in 2018.Cindy currently lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, though she also spends time every month in the mountains of North Carolina on land where her maternal grandparents once farmed. When in Chapel Hill, she volunteers at The Farm at Penny Lane, a therapy farm. She also practices yoga, participates in community-based social justice activities, and spends as much time as possible hiking in the woods. She is a mother and a grandmother.
