I hated feeling like I had to make a choice between being there for my family and being with the person I loved. I felt worthless.

The last three years have been full of adventure. But they've also been about healing and finding self-worth again.

I've never been in Silicon Valley for the money, or for my career. I'm here to be close to my family, both for me and to be support.

Do good, where you can. Take care of yourself. And above all, connect people, meaningfully.
