You guys!! I never know if I’ll laugh out loud, get weepy in public, or overflow with love and affection for your subjects. I wake up in the night thinking about your stories sometimes… whatever you’re doing is pretty important work, telling stories that highlight humanity, wholeheartedness and healing.
Thank you. ❤️
