Reflection/Why I’m Grateful:

While in Chicago, I had the chance to visit Trinity United Church of Christ. Seeing the church in action was powerful—it’s one thing to hear about a place and another to feel it for yourself.

I also attended my first Black Boy Art Show. The energy in the room was incredible—Black artists showcasing bold, expressive, beautiful work. There was a deep sense of pride and community in that space. It was refreshing. It was needed.
