A photo of a mother and her daughter. The mother sat her daughter on top of a ground level sign to wait for the Christmas Parade to begin. The little girl is dressed in bright shades of warm colors and looks to be dressed for the weather on this very cold day.

I think about this a lot as I have experienced the same treatment over the years: it's the microaggressions and the constant downplaying of everything that we have achieved that makes this work really hard for us.
