“I’ve been really impressed by how much [you hold] and how organized y’all are and how you show up and move in the movement. The spaces you have created are so generative and wholesome.”

“The platforms you’ve created, nurtured, and unleashed are essential, incomparable — but not singular: in that you’ve clearly built them to work meaningfully, impactfully together.”

“Your ability to articulate and make me (and us) feel good is one of the millions of things I love and appreciate about you. I will hold everything you’ve given to me and to the org very close and revisit it when I need a pick-me-up. You’ve picked me up many times in the perfect way that both said ‘I get it, it sucks.’ and ‘You’re doing your best, now come on let’s keep doing that.’

You brought us here and I’ll never be able to thank you for that.”
