Walking in the world, walking in our authenticity, requires in us a certain amount of fierceness, a warrior spirit—a willingness to open to our authentic selves. It’s also kind of a charge. If we look around at the work in the world our alphabet community, our rainbow community does in working toward full citizenship for everybody, inclusivity for everybody, that’s a beautiful charge that speaks to the heart in this community. Some of us have suffered great trauma and loss just in the endeavor to walk in our truth. And know how much healing, how much transformation that requires. This is warrior’s work.
