Quotes
I’ve become the antithesis of what my destiny would dictate I’d become
Creating a movement is the long game
If you wake up everyday, and do what brings you peace and passion you’ll end up in the right place.

Part of transformation at scale and creating a movement is letting go of the past and embracing the future
