My 2016 in Review

While 2016 has been hard, it has been a year I am grateful for because it stretched and pushed me. It's reminded me that the disquiet I feel in my spirit can be harnessed to do good work that is responsive to the need I see in the world.So thank you to the year that has encouraged me to unapologetically be myself and walk, speak, and act boldly in the places that I find myself rooted in.
