“My dad is a preacher. My mom is a teacher. They gave me heaven and earth. By the time I was out of their house, I’d lived on four continents, I spoke five languages, and I had learned to look for beauty, truth, and salvation in all things. I knew that my sole responsibility on this earth was to let my little light shine. It seemed a no-brainer to me that my little light would shine brightest, was most needed, in the darker corners of life. I don’t think it’s surprising at all that I ended up naked, glowing, incandescent in one of the darkest corners imaginable.”
