Wow. Amazed at the courage and wit of the fearless pioneers you introduce to me. I wish I had known about them earlier in the small world I was raised in.

I know the feeling. I didn’t learn about them until later in life. I often wonder how my life might have been had I known earlier. For me that would be the road not taken. I found understanding and history in time, and now I hope to share these heroes because not enough people know. We have seen this before and we won. We preserved.

Together we can win again.

Carolyn, thank you for reading and for continuing to help amplify my voice. I am so glad that it touched you and was able to inspire. These stories are so important and this Pride really has just scratched the surface--if that. I could write whole volumes on this history I love so much. Its important now more than ever.
