Orlando is strong and united

This summer has gone by so fast. But that doesn't mean that it hasn't been a memorable one. Its actually going to be one we will never forget.
The unbelievable tragedy of the Pulse Nightclub victims happened in our neighborhood. The shock of the event was - and still is- now part of our City's everyday existence. Orlando is strong and united and the community felt an overwhelming support from the nation and the world in the aftermath. The community is trying to heal and recover, but will never forget.

With the election coming up in November, I have been thinking a lot about the future that will define my children for the years to come and what kind of world and country they will live in. The realities of the world cannot be denied, but also cannot destroy the country we live in. I pray for peace and safety and security in all communities.
