To the doubters, the judges, and anyone watching…
I’m just here finding my marbles and lining up my ducks.
Some days I rise like Auntie’s bannock, golden and proud.
Other days, I fall flat — but I’m still in the kitchen, still creating, still rising.
24/7 Cells, 24/7 Ribbons, Sacred Signals, Knowledge Sharers —
they’re not just projects, they’re pieces of who I am.
I may stumble, but I will not stop.
This is the journey. This is the rise.
