Thanks for posting this inspiring read, @carlvlewis! I was drawn to the fact that the profile’s in a publication called “Bitter Southerner.” Also I spent some time as Coco’s table mate at Brigade Training Day. A qoute that really resonates wit me: "I realized that the only way that Savannah would change was if people like myself came back and rooted themselves down to changing it.”
