I was fighting back tear making that video and also writing this tweet all now. I sat down and realized today that yesterday was a day worth celebrating for me. A year ago around this time I got fired from my second job and was unemployed for weeks.
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
