It has been a fun couple of weeks!
I turned 11 on February 8th and I had a lot of fun at my birthday party! After my party, my family, myself, and one of my friends went to Pride Night at the Hartford Wolf Pack game. I have never seen professional hockey before and I had a lot of fun! I got to go on the jumbotron and talk to everyone about being Kid Governor with Rachel Lutzker from Fox 61. I also got to meet a lot of my supporters who have been following my blog. It was so amazing to see all of you in person!

About a week after, I got invited to a Girls Rising event where women celebrate women. Girls Rising is a non-profit group that is working “to empower and inspire girls and LGBTQ kids to pursue careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) fields.” The band Antigone Rising, who started the non-profit, performed at the event in Norwalk, CT. They are an all female rock band and they also identify themselves as queer. I got to speak onstage and I got to meet the band. It was such an honor to be there to spread my vision of PRIDE - HOPE - LOVE to everyone in attendance. Added bonus - Antigone Rising was amazing! If you haven’t heard their music, you should definitely check them out!

How can you show love today?
Hold the door for someone. You never know what people are going through; your little actions can make someone’s day.
Your Kid Governor
