Maya, this was stunning! Both grounding and elevating at once. The way you described being seen and treated with dignity in such a simple hotel moment says so much. And then finding Substack, finding a place where it’s your mind that matters, not how you perform or appear? That hit deep. I felt that shift too when I arrived here. It’s like finally being invited to sit at a table you didn’t realize you were always meant for. Thank you for sharing this with such warmth, honesty, and clarity.
