“For too long, many of us have been told that our q***rness is a deficit, something to overcome or hide. But here’s the truth: your q***rness is not a flaw; it is a superpower. It is the spark that ignites creativity, the lens through which you see the world differently, and the gift that enables you to create beauty, joy, and connection in ways others cannot.

As we move into 2025, know this: you are enough just as you are. You are not broken. You are not “too much” or “not enough.” You are a beacon of light, showing others what it means to live authentically and boldly.”
