May we meet ourselves and, may it delight us.

Yacob Berhane — Rooftop Portrait

currently tinkering

I believe the beauty that is divinely ordained in us all is magnified by our willingness
to be seen. I’m the product of loving parents, a village of caring folks, many women
who have poured into me and men who have guided me.
A spirit crafted by faith and a knowing that community,
to be in communion, is our path to the future we yearn for.
I’ve been an athlete, a builder of businesses, technology, poetry, community,
all concentric circles of self-discovery and reflection
as I traverse space and time.
This, I hope, is an invitation to be seen.
May we hold space for ourselves and each other and delight in what we find.
