When you are in community with people who understand your journey, something shifts. These are people who see your commitment to making a difference in the world. They understand the joy, uncertainty, responsibility, and sometimes loneliness that can come with building work you deeply believe in.

I have never tasted a square watermelon, but I hope it keeps the qualities that make a watermelon a watermelon: sweetness, juiciness, and a refreshing taste. Its shape may have changed to serve a purpose, but its basic nature has not. It does not suddenly taste like beef jerky, hummus, Dubai chocolate, or papaya.
