Speak Up and Do the Work

Virginia turned 7 on Saturday, and it seemed so long ago that I was so excited to be alive at time when the only president she'd know was one who was brown like her.

I will be doing Nia's birthday recap/life lately update, but first this post needed to written before anything else.
