I’m relieved to be in this space. You hear me? RELIEVED. I just got here. I don’t know what’s happened so far or where we’re headed but being in an unapologetically Black space? I’m IN! The emojis I’ll share are: 💪🏽💃🏽⚡️✊🏽

I grew up with so much community. I think I took it for granted and I didn’t realize it until I started being the only one that looked like me again and again in roles. If they did look like me, sometimes their role had already taken its toll. I needed to find my tribe.

This space is so needed. Sometimes you build the table, sometimes you take a seat; I support a solution for us. Thank you.
