I found my two-year-old thesis, and felt like it was digital buried treasure. In short, it is about my family. In long, it is about me and how everything I’ve learned and absorbed growing up, beginning in this house, has allowed me to be where I am today, far from home in New York. Removed from this safe space–the island I grew up, the homes I was raised in and the people that support me–I figured something out. I figured out that I should record my past and remember things I might have forgotten. Every story has a beginning and this is definitely mine.
