I may not agree with everything she says, or he says...BUT...as a small brown girl who often feels like her voice is not heard cause she is opinionated and strong willed.
Seeing her walk in her glorious chucks and shine gives me hope for the future. That others like us can do the same.
That if we see voices like her we will LISTEN to voices like her.
No matter what this is a STEP to something greater. We can always do better, become better, BE better.
And the idea of this woman in such a historic place in the White House. To me personally. Is everything I ever hoped to dream but never thought would come true.
May this be a gateway to the change we need. May she do well, learn, and show just what a strong brown woman can do to make things better.

Instead... Aaron drunk texted at Austin GDC two weeks later. Saying he wanted to tell me what had happened to me.
Dear reader, I want you to understand. I was confused. I was told I had a job, that he (Director) and a Lead had hired me. I wanted to know what had happened. That’s all I wanted to know.
Keep this in mind, that’s all I wanted to know FOR YEARS.
