I’m certainly no stranger to taking risks for the betterment of my life – Pursuing an education I was told was not possible for me, applying for positions at art institutions that seemed out of reach, distancing myself from life situations that do not honor who I am and walking into the unknown – this quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. resonated with me the most. It was with faith (in myself) that I walked up that staircase, step by step, and found myself, my core, my happiness.

It was not too long ago that my son and I traveled to Washington D.C., where we got the opportunity to see the Martin Luther King Day Jr. Memorial.
