My annual tweet to say that Interact has been the most impactful community I’ve had the fortune to be part of for the past 6 years. My journey has been shaped by this group of people.

My thoughts the past few days have been of Breonna, Philando, Botham, and always Sandra (the list goes on). They should still be here, George Floyd should still be here.
