I Do A Thing Called What I Want — illustration by Suki Bee
From the Community
I discovered Suki Bee through Glowreel.* I had a delightful time going through her Instagram (linked in the title) - she brings an unrelenting and passionate positivity to the content she creates. The kind of positivity that makes my bottomless cynicism check itself. In the face of her commitment to elevating her community, I couldn’t help but smile - what a gift.

I love the Beyoncé quote. It reminds me of a favorite lyric from U2’s One. “We’re one but we’re not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other...”
Love the illustration this week! Feeling the power 😇
