Today, I was honored to join community members from across Columbus for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day march and program hosted by the City of Columbus Department of Neighborhoods. It was meaningful to see neighbors come together to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy of service, justice, and dignity for all. His message continues to remind us of the importance of respect, understanding, and caring for one another in our daily lives.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful Christmas. I hope you’re able to spend time with the people you love and enjoy the season. I’m grateful for this community and the kindness I see every day.

One thing I’m always thankful for is the people who show up and help make things happen. I’m grateful for the volunteers and friends who helped with the kickoff and continue to support this work.
