I've been keeping a notes page open for every one of my chapters. There are already a number of things jotted down for 26. But for now, here are some pointers from last year (40 to be precise). It's not always been pretty. There's been a lot of introspection. Hulu's The Bold Type is probably repsonsible for one that absolutely shattered (and still shatters) me.
I've been advantaged enough to have had love and kindness extended to me this year. To have so many people take a chance on my person, and for that, I'm grateful. Thank you for allowing me the tools, resources and space to grow, for seeing what I see.
If you'd like to see the past iteration of this, you can catch 24 here. If not, then thank you for being here today and thank you for witnessing my journey.
Love,
– S.
