“𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.⁣

Happy MLK Day everyone. We hope you are able to rest and enjoy time with your loved ones today. 💙⁣

As we reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. King, remember all he did, he did for his children and for the generations to follow.⁣
