Thank you to Christopher B Franklin for thinking enough of me to offer this platform. Gratefulness is where I live cuz my granny, gmama, momma, family modeled and instilled it in me. It isn’t a posture of less than or crumbs scraping, but one that acknowledges good things aren’t a guarantee and when we encounter them thankfulness, gratefulness is the least we can express. P.S. to my beautifully melanated sistah in song, Yola, do know I mentioned your name as well.
