Bipeds of Brookland: Julee Dickerson-Thompson
Julee Dickerson-Thompson was born in Brookland, a middle child of six, just after her parents had bought a house and begun renovating. “Which is why I have no baby pictures. They were knocking down walls around me. They went at it with a vengeance.” Her father was an architect who also enjoyed playing tennis, which is how he met her mother. “They met on a tennis court, and I met my husband on a tennis court. . . Tennis is such a family thing.” Her mother was an artist who started a program called ‘Second Time around Boutique.’ “She taught teenage girls to recycle, nobody knew what recycling was then.” She made beautiful clothes out of tablecloths and upholstery fabric and ties.
