CHICAGO DEFENDER — “This year has shown me that I am nothing without faith. I enjoyed many highs during 2020, and yet I can also bear witness to some valley lows. Nevertheless, 2020 has taught me to be grateful in the midst of it all. Nothing is to be taken for granted. I find joy in the ability to wiggle my fingers, which is something most may not think of. There are no little blessings. All blessings are huge. This year has also taught me that it’s the shared testimonies that carry the torch of hope and encouragement needed to make it from one moment to the next.”-Lisa, Chicago.
