“Rita, I value your compassion, love, and emotional intelligence!! Since day one, you have always had powerful dialogues with me about healing, systems of power, higher education, and social justice. Thank you for modeling what vulnerability, self-love, and inner work looks like. Because of you, I continue to be vulnerable, cry, and share my sensitivity while also cultivating the deepest love within myself. I feel blessed to know your authentic self, and always have you support my growth.”
