September 30, 2021 Reached 100 subscribers!

I reached 100 subscribers after 1 week!

It was mostly friends, family, and coworkers who had subscribed to show their support. They have since become some of my most avid supporters and advocates in sharing my work with their own networks and spreading the word.
