…Turning Point… The Big Deal
January 2020 makes it exactly 6 months since I got back from Madison Wisconsin, where I had my Mandela Washington Fellowship.
I have had several instances where I shared my Fellowship experience but not once have I mentioned the one that gave me the 360 degrees turn around and just how it did that publicly.
A few months ago, I shared this story with a friend I met while on tour Wisconsin Radio, she agreed it was really deep and yesterday. I saw another friend tag me the story.
Truth of the matter is am a changed person, and it’s because MWF broadened my horizon, I met a large number of great people, important personalities but seeing myself through Haley’s eyes changed the narrative for me.
Haley is a young girl of about 9 or 10 years old living with Down Syndrome, yet Haley is the sweetest soul I have ever met. We connected in a way that transcends my understanding. She is full of life and a delight to hang out with.
Volunteering at Gigi’s Down Syndrome Achievement Center last Summer was totally worth it. Julia Meyers God bless you for the great work you did @ Gigi’s. Your passion for the kids, your energy and your love to special kids is second to none Julia.
