Ousmane Diallo was the embodiment of compassion, humility, and a commitment to serving others. I also knew him as a friendly face in Albany, someone whose smile was as dependable as the sun rising. Today, I joined his loved ones to pray Janazah and mourn his loss. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

I never took graduation photos, went to prom, or celebrated past milestones. So yesโ€ฆthis moment matters. Being hooded at the Cities United Convening reminded me itโ€™s okay to pause, be seen, and celebrate growth. Grateful. Nowโ€ฆ back to the work!

I watched my brothers say goodbye to their cousin forever today. They were supposed to all grow old together. They shouldnโ€™t have to know what it feels like to hold a casket. They shouldnโ€™t have to hold that weight. This world can be so cruel.

I love that God made me a big sister. I love even more that He has placed so many other big sisters in my life now. And I love my lateral sisters even more. And I love my baby sister the most. Sisterhood can be so beautiful.
