The times we have partnered together to bring ritual and faith to others from our community have been some of the most gratifying moments of my work here in Nashville. Becca's humble presence with others and willingness to hold space and insist upon equity for all inspire and instigate me to action. She is truly about love as the ultimate healing agent.
