the next chapter...

Today was my last day with the Town's Youth Advisory Commission and Soluna's 6 month birthday. I've been working for the Commission for almost 3 years all with the hope of having the city value the voice of young people in public policy making. I worked with the resources given, pushed through bureaucracies and played the political game. The youth are continuing to learn and grow. The city is opening doors. I feel like I am leaving the Commission in a better place. I have learned so much. And now a new chapter begins, after working with young people since I was a young person (nearly a decade).

Here is a picture of the Commission after our retreat last summer.

Aren't they a cute bunch!? I am in the front. I was about 6 months pregnant!

I am excited about what life brings me next. And scared about working ... with adults!
