That even as we tired, we tried that will forever be tied together victorious. Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.”💛

Today I feel as if we have turned a new leaf. One of hope, aspiration, compassion and unity. We watched Madame Vice President, Kamala Harris being sworn in as our first female, black and south Asian VP. We watched previous presidents and former VP Mike Pence usher a peaceful transition of power. We watched @amandascgorman speak wisely and empathetically beyond her years. And finally we watched the clouds part and and the sun shine on President Joe Biden as he became our new leader and commander in chief. He spoke about being a president to all- and sharing that his entire ♥️ heart is in this for us.

I feel happiness. Love! Patriotism and HOPE! That even as we grieved, hurt and tired... we grew, we hoped and we tried. I am proud to be an American 🇺🇸 today!

    Instagram post 17855993498484563 This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. is one that I try to remind myself of everyday. It’s a small mantra I keep in my pocket to help me be a better person. But my small pocket mantra should be more. On this day that we recognize MLK and what he has done for our communities, I feel implored to do more everyday. This day is about acts of service to our communities. It’s not just one day- it is something I want to think about and ACT on everyday. In 2021, I want to do more for my communities and remember even more so that the time is always right to do what is right. 🕊
