My emotions were running high, overwhelm with sadness not being able to take sand with my sisters in Washington on January 21, 2017. Miami will do, I said to my self, but once I found myself immersed in the warmth of brave and courageous humans of all gender, I realized no matter where you are, we are all standing together as one, sharing the same energy and voice in one harmony.
