Maybe it’s having the right to vote. Maybe it’s the freedom to choose your career path. When I think about freedom, I …
We’ve all heard it before.

Is it just me or do you find yourself hesitating to shout “Happy New Year!” with the same gusto as you may have in previous years? The whole year of 2020 felt like one sucker punch after another. I’m talking on a national and global level, as well as a very personal one for so …
