## Caption

Gratitude to all of you who have read and listened to #FindingMe. From the Finding Me audiobook I describe a pivotal moment, a revelation, that was the true beginning of my call to adventure. Achieving, becoming “somebody,” became my idea of being alive. I felt that achievement could detox the bad shit. It would detox the poverty. It would detox the fact that I felt less-than, being the only Black family in Central Falls, RI. I could be reborn as a successful person. From age five, because of my sister Dianne, re-creation and reinvention and redefinition became my mission, although I could not have articulated it. She simply was my supernatural ally. ❤❤❤
