Allow me to reintroduce myself:

I could not have written it in this way. Thank you AI. There’s a place for you after all.

In Jamaica, we have a saying that, “self praise is no recommendation.” However, as the African proverb says, “As the music changes, so does the dance.” I’m learning to dance to the change in the music. I now proudly celebrate all my accomplishments. Rightfully so 💃🏽✊🏽
