For music that sustains me. For having heroes to look up to and friends, new and old, to rely on. For a peaceful, generous community with common purpose, shared values, and dedication. For faith, hope, and the promise of real change in abundance. For everyone who worked so hard for so long to make history. For a leader I believe in. For passion. For opportunity. For Traction. For Jamaican American Thanksgiving with jerk turkey, rice and peas and rum cake. And for Tar Heel basketball, which (of course) is number one.

I'm thankful that we moved to a swing state, for once my vote helped turn a state blue!(AR was a solid red). I'm thankful that we moved to an area that has trees & greenspaces! I'm thankful for finding a group of people who get out there & work for what they know is right! I’m thankful for my friends and family.

I'm thankful for the amen corners around the world that kept my spirit going and my hands gloved when the world came out of the corner. Most of all, I am thankful for so many people, near and far, who have sacrificed so much to fight for issues, rights and basic needs that everyone deserves. To this bunch of pioneers, I bow to you and say - 'Job well done, keep marching, keep winning, keep lifting one another up and always, always remember who you are and from where you have come!' - your sister in the struggle, Charmaine 'Fightdpower' I’m personally thankful for my family and friends that have supported me and my goals from the very beginning.

I'm also grateful for same-day registration during early voting, incredible numbers of patriotic young volunteers and activists, and of course the exciting potential of a new Presidential administration and the hope that we'll ALL be part of transforming this country and planet – so that everyone can be thankful for their health and roofs overhead, among other things. How about you? Me, I’m thankful for my family, my health, my health insurance, a roof over my head, student loans, good friends, and good dogs (most of the time anyway).
