This past weekend, I had the privilege of marching side by side with hundreds of thousands of others (200,000 here in Denver, to be specific), all united in our distrust of and anger toward an administration that would be vocal of wanting to trample upon our rights. I also learned a lot at the...
2017 is fast approaching, and with it, a slew of expectations that it will somehow treat us better than the past year. My own 2016 was filled with highs and lows.
