Valentine’s Day Struggle
Her tears began as a trickle. Her vision quickly blurred forcing her to wipe away the haze. Michelle reached across the wooden table and gently squeezed her best friend’s palm. Their longstanding friendship, which dated back to college where they first met, made this new ritual all the sweeter and Valentine’s Day a little more bearable.
Together We Rise
No one person rises to the top alone. Someone or something pushes us physically or mentally to go beyond what we imagined for ourselves so they can flourish in a place we never thought we would be. Solo we struggle; we count ourselves out; we give up. Together we excel; we have a vision; we let nothing stand in our way. In celebration of Black History Month, we honor that hand on our back, that word in our ear, that support in our darkest hour.
