I want to thank my friends, family, mentors, and every community I’ve been lucky to be a part of — for their unwavering support, belief and inspiration. The work I do is deeply personal to me. It’s about building spaces where people feel seen, valued and connected. As someone who has moved across borders and identities, I know how vital it is to create environments where everyone belongs.
