Last month we celebrated our moms and this month we're turning our attention to dads! Again, I'm very fortunate to have had so many great men in my life - the man who raised me, my grandfather, uncles, and many leaders in our community.

May Theme: Moms
This month is all about the moms in our lives! I'm a very fortunate person in that I have multiple moms to call my own.

In honor of these … Continue reading The Anti-Valentine’s Post
