I reflected painfully and prayerfully on life and moved forward with as much love as I had. It was a long, quiet Winter. I ended the year by articulating everything I needed in the New Year, helpfully illustrated by Saint West:
And that’s where the story stops. It really felt like a full and complete year, easily the one that grew me the most and which my outlook on life changed the most dramatically. My heart broke and re-broke and re-broke and I picked up the pieces and triumphed. I wore my heart on me at all times. I stayed close to God.
My mission in life is to empower on/offline communities. I currently work at Instagram as an Associate Brand Marketing Manager, where I focus on community engagement and representation in global campaigns. In my free time, I am a dedicated sleeper, East Bay SPCA volunteer and portrait photographer. View all posts by Joy Ofodu
