.185 Junior Mintt
Junior and I have never met in person. We were connected to each other last April (thank you, Robb!) for my online birthday fundraiser for The Center. When I first chatted with Junior, we spoke over the phone and I felt like I was struck by a bolt of joyful and compassionate lightning. She radiated kindness through the phone and I just knew I was chatting with someone special.
When the time came for Junior to perform during the fundraiser, she brought the (virtual) house down. Junior is so incredibly smart and talented, with her drag/performance(s) and just in general, and she matches it with a genuine and truly sweet personality. She is deeply gracious and so clearly walks through life with her palms open to receive all the love she deserves, and to give it outward, too.
Junior, thank you for being a part of that day and for doing so having never met me! Thank you for being an inspiration when it comes to living proudly and making an impact in the world every single day. Thank you for being so loving and kind. Thank you for being all that you are.
