VTOD Pre Anniversary Brunch

7/3/23

My beautiful VTOD family <3

I want to thank you all for always pouring into me, encouraging me, ministering to me, but most importantly for creating a safe space for me and my gift.

Bishop, Elder Jones, & Sister Penny, I especially want to thank you three for always encouraging me to write and speak more. The little seeds you’ve planted thus far, have helped me grow tremendously. I promise a book is coming soon lol.

First Lady, Aunty Nay, & Pastor Sharon, thank you for always covering in prayer before or after I perform. Thank you for always reminding me that I’m already equipped and the importance of ministering to people through spoken word.

My favorite highlight was being able to perform in front of my grandmother for the first time. ❤️

Overall the brunch was absolutely beautiful and I’m grateful that I got to be apart of this one.

with love always,

Victorys Poet Laureate 💜

Poosie,

I truly thank God for you. I am grateful that God assigned you to be my big brother. You have set the tone for my walk with God. I wish everyone could experience you as a brother. You my dawg fr lol

I thank you for always loving and supporting me on my writing journey. Thank you for letting me call you if I need your help with a poem or for simply saying “I’m proud of you."

Because of you, my walk with God has grown tremendously and I couldn’t repay you enough for that.

I love you more than you love Tacos lol.

with love always,

Lemons
