A legacy we want to continue is…

The legacy I want to honor is my dad’s

The legacy of my Grandpa

Have a passion for drawing

Doing Hair and Nails for people in the community

To spread love throughout the community

We will continue to…

Let people know they are not alone

Be vulnerable, but still protect ourselves

Honor our personalities

Serve the community

Work hard

Make our families proud

Having respect for everybody

Never give up
