Day 34: Call People

Though people who knew me from my teenage years to my mid twenties would claim otherwise, I don't enjoy speaking on the phone all that much.

I love your thoughtful curiosity about the world, and your kindness and generosity when you witness an unmet need. Your joyful willingness in learning about my own heritage has been nothing short of remarkable. As I get to...
