My Thoughts on Pride

     Pride, to me, means progress — for the self, and for the collective. It means the shedding of shame insofar as it allows everyone to come to the table with their cup full. In that sense, I hope that my Pride continues to be less and less about me, and more about recognizing my capacity to serve and liberate others. Because we all deserve a seat at the table, and we all deserve a full cup.

     I also must say there is remarkably less pressure to be shirtless in public this year, which I do appreciate.
