Olivia,
There are some people in life who become part of your foundation without even realizing it. You are one of those people for me.
Thank you for your loyalty, your heart, your consistency, and the way you continue to show up for this vision and for the people connected to it. Your ability to lead with both strength and care is rare.
I could not build this the way we are building it without you. Thank you for being someone I can trust with both the mission and the people behind it.
