After I came out 🏳️🌈 publicly (Summer 2021), Dean pulled me aside at our 1st AM skate. He said he was proud of me & that if anyone [messed] around with me…they’d have to answer to him. At a time when I was re-finding myself…it meant the world. I wish Dean nothing but the best.
Feels like a good moment to talk about the power of allyship. I didn’t realize how much it means to me & the 🏳️🌈 community until a deep dive last summer. It’s one thing to say it, but it means so much more when you show it…especially when it comes from someone people look up to.

South Minneapolis and St Paul have gotten a lot of national attention in the past week, but several North Minneapolis businesses have fell victim to arson too...we can’t forget about them as we heal economically.
Businesses in North Minneapolis have faced extreme damage in the past week — on top of devastation from

Together, we've raised thousands for Minneapolis relief efforts. Let's step up again by helping build up Northside businesses:

Same thing happened to me at the highpoint of the pandemic. Except mine was a termination email, not a bonus...even signed with my boss's name.

A painful reminder that after the TV cameras and national attention move on in the news cycle, there are still lasting wounds left in a community impacted by a school shooting. Absolutely gutted for the community of Perry 💔

Courage comes in many forms, but being someone who steps out of their comfort zone to show support for others might be the most admirable thing of all.
Its true. I'm so excited for this next step in my career. And there is no way it would have happened without working with some fine
@kare11
colleagues. Every one of these pictures has an awesome story.

I know we work dream jobs with a kick-ass sports team, but this crew and our families have sacrificed a lot of our lives the past five months to drive the

The three people with me in this photo sacrificed their physical and mental well-being, all to give

It was my honor to join them for the last couple weeks of this crazy journey. Thanks for allowing me into your bubble.
