Ugh…that is NOT a good picture of me!
Congratulations Tori! That picture really does not do you justice. I couldn’t get over how great you looked at the DART board meeting.
Thanks girl! I definitely should have let my hair down. LOL
I sill don’t see what I have done that is so deserving of such an honor as an award with Katherine’s name on it. You and Pam have done so much more than I have for transgendered equality.
