PERSONA

Our streets are places where identity takes shape. They hold the marks of our differences—traits, experiences, and perspectives that make each of us unique. Diversity strengthens us, yet it also reminds us of the unfamiliar. Within these spaces, stories are written: strangers become friends, friendships test resilience, and lives intersect in unexpected ways.

I grew up in another world: a childhood of cowboys and indians in flower filled gardens, homemade cakes and bedtime prayers.

The past is gone. Open your arms, the future has already arrived.
