This is me in @therj207 student film, Thin Line circa 95 (I think). I played the main character’s little sister, Dot.
Yesterday my sister & I dropped of her daughter/my God-daughter at college. I’m so honored to have been a part of this transition in her life. I’m looking forward to hearing stories, visiting & having her show me her favorite spots, & just getting to watch her evolve. Shout-out to my sister who has had a village, but has also shouldered quite a bit on her own. I’m proud of you @aqua2529 ✌🏾 & 💜

The doctor looked like HE needed consoling. He told us, “He fought really hard, referring to my Dad. That f’ed w/ me too.
