I've been fortunate enough to have some amazing experiences in my
life so far. I've trekked to one of the highest base camps in the
Himalayas, meditated with Tibetan monks in the Dalai Lama's monastery,
earned my US Army Infantry patch, walked 550 miles across Spain, lived
in Paris, been the only non-black, non-woman member of the Black Women's
writers' group, written a novel, held the hands of dying patients, and
worked with some of the best people in Silicon Valley.
But the most
transformative experience has been the simple act of loving myself.
