I remember the last time we saw each other in 2022. You’ve always made me feel at home and accepted and respected. You were the first person to not only see me, but hear me. Hear my voice, my experience, my contributions.
In retrospect, I think you knew that might be our last time together in this world. And you continued to encourage me, and push me like you always have. I’m honored that I was your student. I’m the woman I am today because of you.
