I believe that true courage lies not only in illuminating the hidden corners of our minds but also in sharing those truths aloud, whether in the comfort of conversation or the solidarity of a supportive circle. We remind one another that we are not alone. We are meant to live woven together,

reaching both inward and outward for healing. I will stand firm on issues that matter, champion the needs of our community, and meet challenges with a steady heart—even when the path is marked by disagreement.

Nelson Mandela once said, “I never lose. I either win or learn.” That wisdom has stayed with me, especially in moments where change is beyond our grasp. We may not always alter the situation—but we can choose how we meet it.

I bring with me a readiness to grow: to listen, to adapt, and to engage with curiosity. I will come to the table with open hands, an open heart, and a mind willing to evolve alongside you.

True reliability begins at home, with ourselves. I’ve learned to honor my own boundaries and to care for my time and energy with gentleness. My daughter has taught me the quiet power of play and joy, reminders that the present is a place worth pausing in.

In community, reliability is the soil where trust takes root. You will find me present and steady, committed to hearing your voice and following through. I won’t just say it—I’ll show it, in how I show up, every time.
