For World Down\’s Syndrome Day

What you taught me that day was winning a race is not as important as having a friend to slow you down and savor every moment of it.

I could hear the words reverberating in my core. Poornam stands for \”Complete\” or \”Whole\” in Sanskrit.

On a blustery winter morning, I shuffle my booted feet and rub my gloved palms together as I wait at the light rail station in uptown Charlotte.

After a harrowing attempt at beautifying myself at a salon, I discover that true beauty is much more than facials and lipsticks.

I have always loved to write but shied away from calling myself a writer until now.
