Still processing all the feelings about the end of this chapter BUT I'm thankful for support from the best committee, for encouragement and care from loved ones near and far (including those who have joined the ancestors), for accompaniment, for celebration, for learning.

On a whim, I decided to commission art based on my dissertation as a gift to myself. Just finished a chat with the artist and I'm so glad I decided to indulge in this way! lol Would recommend to anyone who needs a boost to push through to the end of a tough project 😘
