Thank you, God, for the gifts you gave me to share with the world. Thank you to my lover and best friend, Lakyia, my friends, and my family, who have poured into me and helped me become better. To the community that raised me up, dusted me off, wiped my tears, and pushed me when I didn’t think I could keep fighting the good fight, I love you. Here are only some of the beautiful memories held in my heart. Moments I pray I’ll never forget. My village is as vast and beautiful as the sky. Thank you, God, for the blessing that is community.
