Friday night, I stood in a room where legacy lives—
composing and performing a piece to honor the 75th Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation Gala.

The weight of history met the pulse of purpose.
I felt every ounce of honor and nervousness—
But I also felt the call: to echo the impact
of a team whose work stretches far beyond the court.

Thank you to the entire Celtics family for trusting my words to carry a piece of your story.

Black queer and trans femme voices take center stage.
