Summer was born on the hottest day of the year in a field of weeds in the middle of a family reunion. She is like a weed in so many ways. She embodies growth, freedom, and colorful rebellion. She doesn’t wait for permission to belong she just grows into the spaces she wants to be a part of.
She is a beekeeper and is going to school to be a nurse. As some weeds hold the soil together when flowers fade she organizes community events to help her circle coexist in a beautifully diverse world. Diversity isn’t always comfortable. It’s wild. It’s messy. It’s beautiful.
UNDER THE SUMMER SUN
We were never meant
To be the same
Some of us are roses
With a thousand thorns
Some of us are wildflowers
And stubborn as hell
But we still find ways
To twist our roots
Around each other
Sharing the sun
The storms
And the dirt
That grow us
Our beauty was never
About sameness
It was always about
Growing together
Like a garden
Under the summer sun
