Thank you for pushing me and believing in my gifts. They have literally made room for me. For US! Just looking back - its been almost an entire year of collaboration.
Pride NW is very lucky to have you a part of their team. You have been allowed to show and prove who you are and what you can do for the organization and the community if given a seat at the table and permitted to enter thru the gates! Remember everybody will not react the way that you do and thats ok... you be content with standing ten toes down in the paint on your stance on things that impact the community. You are RUSTINA!!!
