ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH:

“This is a picture of me and my daughter, joy, and my neighbor, Michelle, and it was at the trunk or treat for our neighborhood, and Michelle was one of the first people who I talked to about opening a child care business, and she's my neighbor, and she taught me a lot, yeah, so my daughter enjoys in the picture, and there's a lot of neighbors in the background of a picture, and other people doing the truck Yeah, and then Miss Michelle is in the picture, and I I haven't known her that long, but she helped me to feel welcome as a child care provider in this neighborhood. I think it's just people power, because a lot of people came out that day to do trunk or treat, and a lot of people who are from the neighborhood, but also people from all over the city came so that our kids could run around the park and eat candy. It was just a really it was a really nice day. It was beautiful weather, and it was a lot of kids running around and having fun together. I think it's just a picture of neighbors and the surprising connection.”
