THANK YOU KWAME! <3 You remind and model for us every gathering, to show up as our full self no matter the space. Transitioning to a whole new place and school is not always the easiest, but this group filled it with so much reflection, joy, and laughter. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom and stories. I am forever grateful for our Tuesday Turn Up crew <3 -Alexis

maraming salamat, kwame!

Thank you, Kwame for always keeping it real with us this semester! I learned a lot from you. Thank you for being YOU and for sharing your g-pa wisdom. I appreciated our section, as it kept me grounded! P.S. I hope you enjoyed your cookie cake and that you enjoy your actual bday in January! Sending you a big virtual hug!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us this semester and for building a space where we could learn from each other (even if we were type quiet most of the time). I appreciate your advice to "stop being turtles," and will be more conscious of speaking my truth(s) in these spaces.

Appreciate You

Thank you for an amazing semester. I've learned so much from this course and your facilitation of our section. You continually modeled vulnerability, honesty and courage in the stories you shared. I hope our paths cross again and that you have a great winter break! - Luke Rose

I have learned so much and healed so much from the space you created in our section. Thank you so much, I am truly a different person today, in part, because of you. All the love and healing to you!

Thank you!
