What a blessing it is to travel one more time around the sun! Though I’m not counting the years, I can tell you that I’m thankful and grateful. A year ago, I wouldn’t have ever imagined the many twists and turns that would come my way, yet, I know without them I wouldn’t have been able to get to the rainbow in my clouds. For my birthday, I’m choosing to focus on something that has always been dear to my heart - a renewal of sorts - using my platform to uplift the voices of the unheard and underrepresented. I count it a blessing that I can do that here and everywhere I go. I vow to do my best to usher in the light because I know it will drown out the darkness. What an incredible year of transition it’s been, and I can promise you that the best is yet to come! Thanks for being in my corner and for sharing your love with me. It does not go unnoticed. Happy Birthday to me! Let's celebrate.
